I started buying these shares as they moved above $11 per share and posted a new all time high. Since then I've been adding more shares as I continue to fill out this position in my portfolio. This appears to be a very strong high growth stock in a sector that is exploding. I intend to continue to add shares in this company as well as other biotech companies in the near future. I believe we are on the cusp os a biotech revolution that will continue for decades. I intend to own shares of those companies that appear to be at the forefront of upcoming technologies. This company appears to be one of them.
