2010 has been an interesting year in biotech and in biohealth stocks, even if it has lacked some of the ten-baggers that were seen in 2009.  In 2009, companies like Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

(NASDAQ: HGSI) led the 2009 pack with exponential returns that were 500% and higher.  At BioHealthInvestor.com, we have tracked many of the exponential winners for 2010 with outlooks into 2011.  Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAZZ) is our sole repeat performer in 2010.  Others include ARIAD Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ARIA), Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN), Neurocrine Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NBIX), and Theravance Inc. (NASDAQ: THRX).

Many companies were screened out because performance has faltered or because of limited history.  Read the full lists below at BioHealthInvestor.com:
