Places like Seattle, Austin, Washington, D.C., and Cambridge are endowed with large numbers of highly educated people. Thanks to sectors like software, biotechnology and IT, job growth has recovered from its pre-recession levels and home prices have also surpassed their pre-recession peak. Companies like Twitter and Facebook have had to raise salaries to keep their workers from moving to larger numbers of fast-growing and power-hungry startups. These brain hubs are prime models of economic development gone good and their fortunes have caused rent and home prices to skyrocket &a;ndash; not such good news for those not able to afford them.

The big reason Humira will maintain its position at the top is the U.S. market. U.S. sales of the drug are projected to be around $12.2 billion in 2024. That's not much lower than Humira's 2017 U.S. sales of nearly $12.4 billion. Will Amgen's (NASDAQ:AMGN) biosimilar Amjevita, which will go on sale in the U.S. effective Jan. 31, 2023, really make that small of a dent in Humira's sales? Not really. The impact will be greater than the 2024 projections indicate.

I wrote three months ago that I viewed Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ALNY) stock as a pretty good pick -- but with a couple of qualifications. First, I didn't think that the biotech would generate returns in 2018 nearly as great as it did last year. Second, I thought that there were even better stocks to buy than Alnylam.
