BUZZBERGAlpha Score combines three things: realized average return, confidence in the sample size, idea volume, and speaker reputation. Speakers with only a few calls are pulled closer to the platform average; speakers with many evaluated ideas keep more of their own return. Reputation only boosts: 5.0 or lower is neutral, while scores above 5 add weight. Scores are normalized to 0-100; 100 is best.Read the FAQ
Alzheimer's drugs from Biogen and Lilly are promising.
Anti-amyloid medicines from Biogen and Eli Lilly can break up plaques in the brain and, if given early, could dramatically slow cognitive decline. Data expected later in 2025 may show that early intervention could reduce decline by 40-50% or more.
Companies like Exact Sciences and Guardant Health are advancing colorectal cancer screening with stool-based and blood tests, respectively, making screening more convenient and increasing adoption. Blood tests are inflecting and multi-cancer early detection tests are emerging, which could lead to earlier cancer detection and better outcomes.

PCSK9 inhibitors are a free lunch for heart health.
PCSK9 inhibitors are a nearly free lunch for cardiovascular protection, lowering LDL cholesterol by 50% and reducing heart attack and stroke risk by over 20%. They have the potential to be bigger than GLP-1s in terms of patients and revenue because of their favorable risk-reward profile and the silent nature of high cholesterol.
