So today, presciently, Ariad lost at more than their regular $1M/day rate with more equity payouts. Importantly, there was some tax selling of shares to pay tax on the award.
In the past br has pointed this out and commented on it as the seller not having faith in the future of the company, i.e. that the stock would rise. Some said it was a a 10b-5 requirement.
Apparently it is not a a 10b-5 requirement. br appears to have a point. Other biotech execs don't sell for tax (e.g. EXEL) and neither did Bollag. Why do most Ariad execs sell?
The BoD overpaid themselves and the CEO, they breached their fiduciary responsibilities, they doctored their records and coerced and bought off their accuser...I want THE TRUTH!!!
