Shorting Biotech Stocks Based On Possible Clinical Trial Outcomes

Hi

I was a clinical consultant at a small consulting company for a while. Part of my job was to analyze publicly available preclinical and clinical data to determine the probability of success of Phase III trials. I understand that funds would be interested to have this kind of prediction so they can invest accordingly - especially if I can predict which trials will fail with a high certainty so they can short the stoack. How can I monetize this skillset? Do I just contact funds and sell them a report of my analysis and predictions? Or do I create some sort of blog where members can access my research? Any ideas on pricing?


Sorry for the long post. Thanks.

 

Early stage biotech funds already have MD/PhDs on payroll or as scientific advisors to do exactly that. You could apply to join one ofc, but most of them are down 20-30%+ this year so probably not looking to hire.
