The biotechnology industry is one of the most hazardous places for stock pickers. Volatility is high, even among the largest companies. Creating new compounds and processes that solve complicated medical problems is not an easy business, and there's frequent failure to get viable new products to market.
Often times, the adage "it's better to be lucky than talented" applies to a biotech's development pipeline. The same can also be said for investors trying to pick big winners from the biotech universe too, which harkens back to a familiar Warren Buffett quote: "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing."

For investors who don't know ins-and-outs of biotech (like myself), picking individual stocks can be dangerous. That's where an ETF comes in, like the biggest biotech ETF out there: the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Fund (NASDAQ:IBB).
