Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT)

Currently it's approved for only ages 4 and 5. CEO said there are 700 now in that age group in the US....The usual number of DMD kids born each year is 1 in 3,500. Check that with DMD organizations rather than what somebody plugged into some pretend "AI" toy. When approved for all ages you'd be talking 7,000 to 10,000. After they are all dosed (if that were to happen), then it reverts to maybe 350 a year. By that time it would be worldwide in the hands of Roche. I just saw a global number of 100,000. It is the most common rare disease.

Analysts and biotech journalists and scientists are the only ones who care about the drug and Sarepta and talk about it now that it's a success. its message boards are a barren desert where once it was an Amazonian rain forest.

I'm not sure how an individual investor can learn about the company's science at this point. Study the company's website for that. It's all there.

In a way, the fun (drama) is just about over. Just need the trial data in a few months to be good. The share price it seems to me will be under control of the big boys wanting to top off their positions before that data comes out. So it's a good time to do the same. After success in that trial is confirmed we'll be another Regeneron as far a stock goes. Possible much better. We should have as many diseases we can treat as it looks like Anavex will have someday.
