In deciding which one to choose I focused on a mixture of total sales potential, time until patent expiration, as well as the potential for indication expansion. I narrowed it down to two lead drug candidates: Celgene's (NASDAQ: CELG ) Revlimid and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: REGN ) Eylea.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
Conn's (NASDAQ: CONN ) will release its quarterly report on Thursday, and the lesser-known retailer of appliances and consumer electronics has quietly put together an impressive long-term investing record. Yet with Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ) having bounced back over the past year from big losses in previous years, the future for Conn's investors hasn't stood out as much. Will smaller companies like Conn's and hhgregg (NYSE: HGG ) keep outpacing Best Buy, or will the larger company end up having the last laugh over its rivals?
