Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star zzlangerhans, summed up the bear case for our community:
Infinity, I'm not feeling a comeback here. You used to make a pretty good case as an Energizer Bunny, with more than [$100M] in cash reserves and two distinctive phase II oncology candidates. But that was before a string of failures for retaspimycin, and now saridegib is starting to take the same route. The cash position will be down to about [$65M] when the next quarterly numbers come out in a couple of weeks, and we know you like to raise money long before it's really necessary. And you want a [$190M] market cap for that? Call me back after the dilutive financing when the cap is closer to [$150M] and the share price back under [$6], and we'll talk.
What do you think about Infinity, or any other stock for that matter? If you want to retire rich, you need to protect your portfolio from any undue risk. Staying away from dangerous stocks is crucial to securing your financial future, and on Motley Fool CAPS, thousands of investors are working every day to flag them. CAPS is 100% free, so get started!
