Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star zzlangerhans, succinctly summed up the bear case for our community:

A year ago I did some in depth research on Repros and concluded that at a share price of [$9.00] the stock was untouchable. I couldn't impeach their science but the company had a long-standing pedigree of misrepresentation dating back to their days as Zonagen. ...

I stood on the sidelines and today the stock stands at double where it was when I drew my prior conclusions. This comes despite a couple of notable setbacks: a data issue in the ZA-301 trial of Androxal that might be grounds for an eventual CRL, and the FDA refusal to permit the company to move directly to a phase III trial of vaginal Proellex for uterine fibroids. I think Repros has benefited from the recent forgiving mood of the market toward the biotech sector in general, but all pendulums eventually swing. A market cap of [$370M] doesn't seem like a lot compared to some other frothy companies, but I'll make a measured bet that Repros has gotten a little ahead of itself.
