Just a matter of time...the trend is in place, up we go! Just waiting for the news to break the chain and we are off and running. This dip was no fun, but we have seen it time and time again. Just patiently waiting for the ownership updates. There were plenty of shorts that were along for the ride down with the sector. They will soon be fueling our climb back to reality. It happens again and again. Many here can attest, Ariad has had it's share of exhilarating short squeezes.
Watch, like sands through the hourglass, as the price continues to rise, so will the sentiment. It happens everytime. I think its important for some, especially the newer folks, to keep in mind where some of the animosity actually comes from. You see, for those that have missed their chances to sell their Ariad shares again and again, it must be very frustrating. It's very easy to sling mud and point the finger of blame at the BoD or the science Ariad has created. Honestly, it comes down to one "thing" that separates those happy folks that sold for a profit, from those not so happy folks that have held, thinking, "I can't sell now, I want more". That "thing" is greed. Many saw the writing on the wall, many ignored the warning signs, many were possibly dealing with distorted vision. It now seems for some, it might be better to cry wolf and be wrong than to sit quietly and be devoured yet again. Hey, whatever makes one feel better at the end of the day. Most all "legacy" folks are well in the green at even today's prices, even greater profits could be realized at $10 when it came and went. Swing and a miss...again..."I can't sell now!!" I think its obvious the BoD's, along with Paris and Denner, are on a mission and a plan is in play. Denner needs votes, he clearly has commanding control over the current BoD's. Equally clear, management is making the decisions and not entertaining the heel biters that might come a knocking. Paris was upfront in explaining he has been working with shareholders. I think that's a great approach and he and Denner most likely get their best feedback and input from those LARGE shareholders. Does it upset me when the BoD ignores the cries of the few and tarnished, not one bit. Let the guys do their jobs and quit attempting to make more waves to rock the boat. That's my own opinion.
Greed has a way of distorting ones vision. Clearly, HB's vision was impaired, to put it nicely. His hand picked board of cheerleaders were obviously fuel to the fire. They almost took out this company, its shareholders and patients in need with their windfall of bad decisions and blind greed. We are clearly in a time of real change for Ariad and the fundamentals are looking better all the time. That being said, another example of distorted vision, all the missed opportunities along the way. Ariad has been a share price roller-coaster, and a traders dream, for years. Adding insult to injury, many have witnessed traders, long, short or both, squeeze plenty of profit from their money riding on Ariad. All the while, "longs" ride the dragon's tail again and again, waiting for the "BIG" payoff!!
That day may come, perhaps, it shall come to pass. One thing is for sure, we all have a chance, each and every day, to take the money and run. If you really think about it, that's been the one winning strategy all along. It worked for HB, it's worked for the shorts and traders, no denying that as factual.
With these thoughts in mind, it would likely prove most prudent for folks to consider their sources when reviewing the many varying opinions around Ariad.
Keep it up Denner and Paris!! Hey, Denner...hope you are loading up right about now!! A nicely timed PR is always welcome!!
SS, nice to see you back
Vid, come on back, tune out the rest and make your stand!!
