BOA is at the top of the holdings list of the 30M shares short on Ariad from $2? No wonder BOA's Rachel McMinn's AP26113 valuation is ZERO and her ARIA target price was/is $2/$3. She may lose her job with BOA. And no wonder she was unprofessional and pathetic at the latest Ariad CC as observed by biotech_researcher.

NASDAQ Biotechnology Index SWAP Bank of America, NA, posted by biotecher86.

Just curious if anyone knows/understands what these swaps are. I was trying to figure out who would possibly hold 30M shares short on Araid from $2. I tried to look at the holdings of the ProShares biotechnology ultrashort ETF, ticker symbol 'BIS'. At the top of the holdings list is a Bank of America Nasdaq biotechnology index swap. I had also noticed the 2M shares were shorted on December 9th, and then I noticed that large quantities of almost every biotech stock I watch were shorted on December 9th, so I thought it must be the result of a hedge fund activity of some kind. Just curious, anyone know what's happening with this?

We Ariad true longs like Jesspro and Amp and myself were said to be in denial a while a go. Aren't Rachel McMinn and the shorts in denial now? LOL!

God bless cancer patients! God bless Ariad! God bless Ariad investors whose money invested is supporting the lifesaving drug company.

The company produces lifesaving drugs. Ariad provides cancer patients who don't have medical insurance coverage with Iclusig free of charge.

vidpok45: "Every dollar invested in this company may help somebody avoid death, in addition to our obvious objective."

In addition to Iclusig, Ariad has another lifesaving drug AP26113 for lung cancer patients. Ariad has a great lab that is working on still another molecule which will be announced next year as a best-in-class cancer drug targeting solid tumor.

rajib_901: "God bless Ariad.....I was listening to the conference call. The company will prosper and flourish. They said they would be supplying the drug for free for all those patients with no insurance coverage. Shorts might see a lack of revenue for the company with this approach. But I see a mighty blessing from almighty God to the company since humanity is being served at first hand. We the ARIA longs are also blessed to be part of the asset of such blessed company."

trading_cyclist: "Just to chime in...100% they stated they will be providing Iclusig FREE to patients w/o insurance. They have my vote, and I'm long for the duration. Ariad is the real deal, run by competent and good people, and they have a life saving drug....provided free of charge to those in need. Shorts have this one wrong, and that will come out in the end (which may be months or years, but....so be it.)
