However, if one has to identify a promising stock, then he has to watch the market closely and do his own research quite thoroughly. Here is a look at two biotech stocks that should be watched closely by all investors.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Hits New Highs

The first biotech stock that should be put into the watch list is that of Oramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ORMP). The company, which is engaged in developing oral drug delivery systems, announced highly positive results from the Phase 2b trial of its product ORMD-0801.
