JayC, I think so too. Any theories as to why they wouldn't have done this at a lower pps as it would have been to their advantage?

I am just trying to understand the price action of this stock and certainly understand that a "short" position or recent increase in shorts in no way reflects a negative fundamental opinion on Ariad but rather is pure trading.

Guess what? The overall Short Position increased in the past month and (before the past 6 day increases) the pps decreased also thus profits for the hedge, MM Shorts whoever they are. And now they are covering and accumulating as you mentioned.

Now hopefully it is turning and supply and demand will control it vs. getting jerked around by short traders. We will see what happens but I do believe now or eventually a big time squeeze or controlled covering will occur. When? I have no earthly idea.

Also, as we all know and have seen with day to day consistent volume, accumulation big time has been going on.


Any other opinions how ARIAD has traded and why? Especially with no news!!!!!!!
