JP,

You said, and several have repeated the point:

I agree with SS 100% when he said he's at a loss for words why these people are staying invested at ariad if they think there is no chance it will recover at all or in the next 5 years. If it has no chance for recovery, then the prospect of being bought out at a good price is nil and none. Now give me another reason other than the one you stated...jmo.

It makes perfect sense to stay invested if you think there is a good chance of buyout or Denner induced change in management, even if you don't think the company has much of a future with Berger had the helm for another five years. You may believe the company has the goods but that current management won't be able to deliver - that HB is the problem. To point out the reasons you believe this is certainly reasonable. Boards are for exchanging ideas, not exclusively pumping or bashing. The world is not black and white, and neither is ARIA's situation.
