Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc fka ARIA

Unlike some of the so-called Ariad longs, I did not cry about the taken-down flash crash. I did not lose my confidence on the gold bags of ARIA shares even at the darkest time.

One should not put any of his money in the stock market if he could not afford to lose it.

I have a list of other stocks. For examples, I bought SINA at $2 and BIDU at $6. I have been holding a big list of mutual funds for 18 years. So the shorts don't need to be concerned about my life savings. Thank you very much anyway.

Buy and hold the gold bags of ARIA shares. You won't regret if you are a long term investor. To outboard_quack and ryan.brummitt:

I buy the gold bags of ARIA shares at low and sell at high. How could I lose money?

I posted the following in March, 2012. It has been repeatedly posted since then.
--------
"In 2011, I bought ARIA at $11.7, $8.5 and $7.7 on its way dropping from $13.5 to $7.6 while the weak hands were jumping off the train and I was calling for “Ride it Out!”
.
I wrote covered calls early 2012 against the shares bought in 08/2011 (unfortunately, ARIA was higher than the $15 strike price on the expiration day and I lost the shares though I made a handsome profit)."
--------
I bought at $11.7, $8.5 and $7.7 and sold at $15 excluding the premium from the covered call. Did I make money or lose money?

I will hold my ARIA shares bought at $0.625 in Oct. 1999, at $0.81 in Dec. 2008 and at $1.75-2.2 in 2009 until they reaches $48.50. Even at $48.50, I will sell only half of my gold bags of ARIA shares.

Buy and hold the gold bags of ARIA shares. You won't regret if you are a long term investor.

Taking the advantage of tax loss selling time, I bought at $0.81 five years ago.

I disagree. Crying about the flash crash was quite normal in my opinion. I was less than pleasant about the flash crash, too.

It is interesting that certain old-timer Ariad believers, who used to claim they knew what they owned, have shorted what they knew due to the taken-down. It's also normal. LOL!

Certain old-timer Ariad longs have jointed class action lawsuits against Ariad, hoping to get $0.001 shares per 1000 qualified shares. LOL! It's normal, too. Anyway, money is money.

True longs and only the Ariad true longs will be greatly rewarded. Ariad will be the next BIIB and the next Amgen despite the painful set back.
