Repros Therapeutics Inc (RPRX)

[docbanker]

Repros has attracted a number of investors/analysts/etc with varying points of view.

Here are the current starting line ups:
Bashers/Negatives/Shorts-
i) Ian- some Colorado State student who was probably sent bullet points by existing shorts and has invested the whole of CSUs investment club's monies shorting RPRX
ii) Dew- i think his investment history (losses) speak for themselves
iii) Hptaxis- decertified doctor who tried to get the company to hire him to no avail and brags about steroids and posts pics of himself with soul glo hair a la Coming to America
iv) Stockrox who claims victory that his short was down 3% with the market down 15%.
v) 2 funds who were short at $6-7 who are located in NY and had abysmal returns last year (one of them lost in excess of $30 MM on 2 positions in 2 days)- no, ymaxx I am not listing their names. These were the same funds who threw a tantrum when the couldnt cover their short in the September deal (and caused a certain broker dealer to make some outrageous demands).

Longs/Positive/Investors:
i) Efficacy Capital- Ian cites Osmetech but has he seen their 5-year returns? They crushed it last year.
ii) FDA advisors hired by Efficacy- looked at the data in totality and like what they saw
iii) Dr John Reed- CEO of Burnham Institute- could go on any Board he wanted to and chose to go on a limited # with RPRX being one.
iv) A number of very successful funds, some currently in and some may not be, who are familiar with the story
v) Potential Pharma partners who the company has disclosed it is in discussions with.

Given these facts, you're absolutely nuts to place your bet in the negatively skewed camp.
