The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which David Williamson, health-care editor and analyst, and Brendan Byrnes, industrials editor and analyst, discuss topics around the investing world.
In today's edition, David and Brendan discuss some of the worst health-care stocks of 2011. These stocks fit relatively neatly into three categories: failure to launch, trial troubles, and home health-care scare. This video focuses on failure to launch -- i.e., companies whose drug candidates made it through the rigorous approval process only to be met with a lukewarm (or downright cold) commercial reception. They also discuss which of the downtrodden stocks are likely to get sales rolling in 2012.
