What shares to invest in for Corona virus treatments
Discussion
Currently there are over a 100 possible clincal candidates going through various stages of testing by dozens of companies.
Some are so confiident that they have a viable treatment that some companies are producing a vacine in bulk while undergoing clincal testing.
If I was to throw in 4 lots of £500 into some companies which ones do you reckon have a good chance of finding a viable treatment. I am aware it is likely to be 2021 before we have something available but I would literally consider this to be high risk pitch where I could loose a significant % invested. I personally see this as a better gamble to make then trying for the national lottery over a period of a few years which could amount to around £2k anyway.
I am of the opinion that there maybe multiple treatments available and not just 1 wonder treatment.
My current 4 companies I am thinking about are:
1. Novacyt
2. Gilead
3. Inovio
4. Moderna
What are on others peoples watch list or already invested in?

All the luck to you, but surely this is a niche industry on a niche financial investment.... then gaming it with half the picture?
You get the right firm you are quids in, but unless you have in depth knowledge of these fields & who has a strong track record you might as well buy £400 worth of lottery tickets?
(I am no one means knowledgable at all, just following broad/general financial advice from my advisor)

I can't say, but it's more exciting than the lottery. More of a horse race in which they may or may not all fall over, but then again there may be multiple winners as the world needs s
tloads of it NOW.
If you have £2K that you can stand never to see again, put it on the table, spin the wheel and see what happens!
Timing - let's not even go there!

You should probably start by clarifying in your mind what you actually want to invest/gamble in. Novacyt are a diagnostics company and as far as I am aware have no involvement in any treatment. Personally if I was to play the market related to Covid, I'd be looking to see if there was any borrow on the most hyped stocks and go short.Some are so confiident that they have a viable treatment that some companies are producing a vacine in bulk while undergoing clincal testing.
