Top Tech Companies To Own In Right Now

Last week had been a busy week for biotech IPOs and follow-on offerings plus news from small cap biotech stocks like Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER), Argos Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: ARGS), Revance Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: RVNC) and TNI BioTech (OTCMKTS: TNIB) that�� worth noting as a new trading week begins:�

Omeros Corporation is Set to Jump as Much as 50%. Last Wednesday, small cap Omeros Corporation,�a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics targeting inflammation, coagulopathies and disorders of the central nervous system, announced that the FDA had�granted Fast Track designation to OMS824, the company's phosphodiesterase 10 (PDE10) inhibitor for the treatment of cognitive impairment in patients with Huntington's disease. OMS824 has already been awarded orphan drug status, but investors might want to keep in mind that cognitive disorders of the brain are extremely difficult to treat and there have been a number of late stage treatment failures in recent years. However, it looks like Omeros Corporation is set to jump almost 50% when the market opens later this morning. Otherwise, Omeros Corporation is already up 114.1% over the past year and up 39.7% since October 2009.

  Other companies didn't do as well last year, but could see their fortunes change in the coming years. Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN  ) , a major developer of speech-recognition software, shed 19%, in part due to some disappointing earnings. Nuance is threatened by weak demand, shrinking margins, and intensifying competition. Carl Icahn has taken a big stake in the company, but some doubt the wisdom of that.

As the final iteration of this buyout saga begins to take shape, here's what you need to know to make the right investment.

  Clearwire (NASDAQ: CLWR  ) investors are just three days away from voting either for or against Sprint Nextel's (NYSE: S  ) latest buy offering. But before they should accept at face value Clearwire's argument that Sprint's recently improved price for the transaction "is the best strategic alternative for shareholders," they should consider the history of the proposal.
