Excellent book on biotech trading, worth every penny of the $20 or so it goes for on Amazon. The first chapter covers the major events that go into drug approval (the catalysts) with suggestions on which make the biggest impact. The rest of the book covers how to do basic research, set up trades and best set up to profit from binary events, much of which can apply to other binary events (like patent infringement lawsuits).
