ISIS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ISIS)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a biopharmaceutical company exploiting proprietary RNA-based drug discovery technologies to create a new class of drugs to treat important diseases.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I've looked at this company a couple of times and always get a bad feeling. I've never shorted any business before, but you gotta start somewhere. I'll start with ISIS because:

their technology is antiquated

they are basically a one-trick pony

I don't think their pipeline is very impressive.

-Best "anti-sense" pharmaceutical company in the business, having produced the only FDA-approved antisense drug to date.

-Is currently developing 18 different drugs.

-Next product, which has already successfully gone through preclinical studies, will help treat Diabetes, the most epidemic disease in the world. There is a huge potential for profit here.
