Despite their strong performances in these fields, both are actively trying to decrease their exposure to their most important markets. What's more, Vertex and Eli Lilly have chosen a diversification path that puts them on an eventual collision course. Here's what investors should know.</p><p class="caption">Image source: The Motley Fool.</p><p>There are plenty of medicines to help patients who suffer from acute or chronic pain. However, many options carry significant potential side effects. For instance, opioid-based pain medications can cause gastrointestinal side effects, but those are mild compared to the possibility that patients will develop dependence -- or perhaps even addiction -- to them. That's why there is a need for new, non-opioid options. Vertex Pharmaceuticals has made significant strides in that direction.

Here's How to Invest Now.</h1> <p>newsfeedback@fool.com (Reuben Gregg Brewer) — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 20:15:00 -0400</p> <p>The one big thing investors have learned from the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East is that oil and natural gas remain vital to the world's normal functioning. This is why most investors should have some exposure to the sector. That said, the next year is likely to be complicated for the energy industry because of the lingering impact of the war.</p><p>I expect oil prices to fall back to where they were before the conflict in 2027, to around $60 per barrel for Brent Crude.
