Biotech stocks can be volatile, even in a bull market. So how do investors avoid the traps? Eden Rahim of Next Edge Capital says the secret is owning companies far along in drug development.

Rahim estimates roughly 40 of the companies he's invested in have been acquired, including three he shared with us last year (like Crinetics, which Vertex agreed to buy for $10 billion). He breaks down his playbook for avoiding blowups and reveals 6 biotech stocks he likes now.

In this episode of Ticker Take, we sit down with Eden Rahim, Portfolio Manager at Next Edge Capital, to explore where biotech investors can find opportunity after a cooldown in the sector.

Rahim explains why Big Pharma is facing a massive patent cliff—and why late-stage clinical progress and proprietary drug platforms give investors an edge in navigating biotech volatility.

In this episode, we cover:
• Why Eden says biotech's bull market has cooled, from rising interest rates to the Moderna surge
• His game plan: own companies far along in drug development, where the biggest risks are behind them
• 6 biotech stock ideas, paired with Bloomberg analyst data
• Why big pharma needs new drugs, and which of his picks could be next
