This is why analysts, market watchers and researchers always try to understand industry trends and follow a great number of stocks comprising sectors of interest. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been telling readers about one trend that’s definitely worth watching — namely, the developments in the burgeoning field of “personalized medicine.” Why is it so important?

Shares of cyber-security company Mimecast (Nasdaq: MIME) shot up about 20% on February 12, establishing a new all-time high in the process. The catalyst: a third-quarter earnings report that showed the company continues to excel on all fronts.
