Top Heal Care Stocks To Watch For 2014

With the�SPDR S&P Biotech Index�up 38% over the trailing-12-month period, it's evident that investment dollars are willingly flowing into the biotech sector. Keeping that in mind, let's have a look at some of the rulings, studies, and companies that made waves in the sector last week.

Last week was dominated by a mountain of data coming out of the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual meeting in Chicago. In fact, there was so much information to plow through that, in a separate article, I discussed the five most important and intriguing studies unveiled at ASCO. I encourage you to review that article to get an idea on what disease treatments were in high demand this year.

Having covered the goings-on at ASCO already, I propose we look at five additional newsworthy stories this week in the biotech sector.
