Here's a way to support WGBH and plan for the future at the same time. Whether it's for retirement or a college education, this biotech stock portfolio worth $2,500 will be a wonderful investment. The portfolio will be comprised of common stock from five companies with a strong presence in Massachusetts:

AstraZeneca

Cubist Pharmaceuticals Incorporated
