In today's edition, David and Brendan discuss some of the worst health-care stocks of 2011. These stocks fit relatively neatly into three catagories: failure to launch, trial troubles, and home health-care scare. This video focuses on trial troubles, i.e., companies with promising drug candidates that either have struggled acing clinical trials or getting past the FDA gatekeepers.
