biotech investing

in early 2015, I made the mistake of putting $10k in a biotech mutual fund. at the time, this represented 40% of my wealth. biotechs were on a roll and I bought at a time when this mutual fund was at an all time high. now this fund is worth $6500. I know you are not advised to sell at a loss but it doesn't seem like biotech is recovering as well as the rest of the market. politicians, especially democrats, are on record saying they want to stop drug price gouging which would affect this fund if they were to win the presidential election. I'm 24 and I don't need this money immediately. does anyone have advice on what I should do?

Russia/Putin announced no increase in oil output in 2016.

Russian president Putin has announced that the oil firms has agreed not to increase output in 2016. so what effect do you think this will do? Does it mean oil has found a bottom? will the price bounce back up???

Sites that provide detailed financial information?

You may have heard of "The Little Book That Beats the Market" and its magic formula for investing (which is basically just a better way of looking at P/E and other financials) but on the website they only show the results of the formula, not the actual data.

After some searching, I came across gurufocus.com which allows you to screen stocks using Greenblatt's formula and other famous formulas for screening stocks. It is really cool and exactly what I want, but you have to subscribe for over $300/year to see the information.

Do you know of any other websites that provide detailed financial information like this? Specifically the information used in Greenblatt's magic formula, such as Net Working Capital, Net Fixed Assets, EBIT, Market Value of Equity, Net Interest-Bearing Debt, etc?
