Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc fka ARIA

Positive indications seen after the Oct.9 plotted takedown:

1. FMR continues to buy and hold ARIA after the big plunge, which indicates the largest mutual fund is very confident on Ariad. Fidelity added 7.8 million shares, totally holding 27.4 million shares; Sarissa Capital bought 11.5 million shares; Camber Capital 10 million shares.

2. The ASH Annual Meeting abstracts (published on Nov. 7) and Ariad Corporate Conference Calls (dated Oct. 9, Oct. 18 and Oct. 31, 2013) indicate that the FDA has intentionally exaggerated the lifesaving drug Iclusig's SAEs in order for it to come down hard on the company as observed by Crédit Suisse analyst Jason Kantor. I firmly believe doctors know more about Iclusig than the FDA bureaucracy.

3. Doctors and patients support Ariad as evidenced by the York Time article published on Nov. 1 and the Boston Globe article published on Nov. 24. The FDA has to listen to doctors and patients eventually. Otherwise, the FDA would face lawsuits by patients, investors and Ariad's legal team. Patients has planned legal filings as evidenced by the conversation between Hans Loland and Ariadinvestor on the Ariad Yahoo Message Board. If the patients had been forced to take legal actions in order to bring back Iclusig that is their lifeline, Ariad's legal actions would have followed the patients' actions, I believe.

4. The best indication is the poison pill adoption on Nov. 1 for thwarting off hostile takeovers. The poison pill indicates that Ariad CEO is not knocked down by the unexpected setback or conspired takedown. The company remains confident on itself.

It was the CEO's ego or his confidence on Ariad that help ariadinvestor and I decide to invest in the stock of this company 14 years ago.

We not only posted what we saw on the message boards, but also let our friends know it timely by email whenever we saw a positive indication after the crash.

Influenced & Encouraged by the positive indications we saw after the conspired flash crash, many of our friends bought/added thousands and thousands of ARIA shares at low prices between $2.xx and $4.xx.

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

ARIA will become the next BIIB or AMGN, at least it seems to me.
