hhmmm. would ya look at that?
well, the way i see it, is if one comes to a message board for advice or insight, you have to weed out the reckless investors from the cautious ones. take to 2da as an example. pre crash it was a gung ho attitude. now, he seems to be an investor that has a real concern as to what can become of his money. i know he is by no means a basher of the company. its just a realistic and more cautionary attitude, which can be a guide to the undecided and newbies to this board. then there are those select few, who we all know, that will not acknowledge the perils of investing. after such events like last october, it should indicated that anything is possible.
we are all strangers on this board. but, we all have something in common…$
so in a nutshell, not to be taken seriously…thanks greggors, for having him clarify his demeanor towards investing
your correct. its been the only option since the crash. which leads me to believe this man (burger), is more disgusting than i thought. if in fact, seven months out, he is still not considering to make the right and ethical choice for supporters and those in need.
not proud to admit, that i am still holding some shares in a company thats run by harvey burger...hope that helps you?
some what.
lmfao!...retailers are truly weak! if they are reading these posts to determine an investment decision!
please, prove me wrong harvey.
ignorance is bliss...
not necessarily bad news, but definitely the same ol "ho hum" news about the future of ariad.
you know the pattern. ignorance in stock trading is a no no.
typical ariad stock price action, up one day down the next three. looks as if nothing of great significance will come out of the call tomorrow. maybe even some disappointing report towards the company. as all astute longs know, insiders are always ahead of the pending results/calls and the stock action today would indicate the precursor for tomorrow.
which also indicates that harvey will not be announcing his successor at tomorrows call, otherwise the stock would be jumping for joy today!
lol! hey harvey! once you find the cure for cancer, you may have an obligation to develop a cure for the mentally unstable.
end the board games!...sell the company!
he may be the exception!
this game of investments simply has no single entity in control. not the government, not the fda, not crammer, not harvey, not ampekind, etc.
can't trust anyone in this game of investments. its better off for ariad longs to cash out, only when they feel the time is right. not doing so based on remarks made by anyone person(s)…is just sad
herein lies the problem...harvey. its clear the dr has had delusions of grandeur. he wanted his name up in lights, unfortunately, his ego has been scorned along the way.
with the situation ariad is in, the duty rests with the person(s) in charge to try and right the damage that has stricken them. is Harvey's mental state with the future business of ariad on the right path, or has the mans bruised ego now become a detriment to the companies cause? because of the investment aspect, its a scary but valid thought.
the last six months has been an emotional and confusing one at that. six months removed from the crash, the activity (and lack there of) that has taken place within the company, poses more questions than answers towards the ceo's thought process. uncertainty that is now slowly dragging the share price lower.
in terms of a buyout, if one was offered to ariad but turned down by the powers to be, would that info have to be disclosed to the public? seems that bit of info would help the share price, regardless of any decision.
also, ariads financial situation has made them an easier buyout candidate since the crash. is it possible that even in its weakened state, it just isn't as appealing to a big pharma to approach, as most here think it should be?
a question for you, or anyone that can answer…lets say ariad got bought out at $20. a share. for most here, that would be enough to say adios! but before i, or another long makes that decision, does any one know the typical share price pattern for a company after purchase? how does future success and non future success, affect a company thats been bought out? how does one think ariads share price would move from the $20 a share, both near and long term? thanks
thrive in the future? then why post day to day?
partnership is only good long term (3 plus years out) and that shouldn't lift the price much higher than in the teens . having to share in the revenue is a detractor. thats also if the drug they're partnering with avoids all the hurdles. so, no affect near term, with reinforced short interest?
no, i am not of the majority that think someone like harvey burgerking has the share holders best interest in mind. not at the least! not sure at this point, if he has patients in mind either. if he sees better things for the company long term, it would be how many years from now? how old would harv be? he seems to be ego (and some delusions of grandeur) driven.
btw, forget long term, where is the money going to come from near term? hope the board has the stones to try and thwart this excuse of a ceo near term, opposed to long term.
6 months after crash. almost 4 months after pona reinstated. buyout talks should've been taking place by now. at ariads current stage, its unfortunate for dedicated supporters (longs), and patients that need these drugs to be developed asap, without the financial burden.
at the moment, shorts and day traders don't seem concerned about a buyout taking place any time soon. are bergerkings thought process really to blame for no discussions (shame, if thats true)? or is there another explanation as to why talks/bids have yet to begin?
can't imagine some one like denner joining the board, most likely after having discussions with bergerking on the direction and future of the company. why would denner walk away from those discussions thinking what a great opportunity to join the funny farm, with a egotistical maniac running the show?! if bergerking has gone senile and dellusional in his ego driven old age, denner and the few sane directors should see a change needing to be made. hopefully soon
hey biotech researcher, glad to see you're still keeping up the good fight (on a daily basis). free message boards are a salvation for some, wouldn't u agree? in any case, keep up the good work entertaining. smiley face:)
wow, the pumping that takes place for this stock. but alas, when there's money and people starved for attention involved (on a free message board no less}, what do u expect?
ihub, yahoo, msn etc. all for entertainment purposes.
ariad pharmaceuticals promising pipeline, coupled with a flawed ceo at the helm = day traders dream$$$
company collapsed nearly half a year ago. from that point on, it pretty much signaled a different direction for ariads pipeline to be successful. a buyout should happen for the benefit of the drugs, employees, and faithful investors. even the great and powerful burgerking md., cannot keep looking through rose colored lenses. as been the case for the past few months, rumors are great for day traders, but lets have the biddings begin already!
spot on. the company has potential. and they were on their way, until the collapse in october. now, the realization is quite simple, money is needed to fulfill those potentials.
because of the setback, the revenue stream will not be where it should've been by the end of this year and into 2016. they are announcing a new mystery drug latter this year? great! because the announcement is about as far as they will get without funds. if they choose to continuously dilute, we may still be trading in this range at the completion of all those trials regardless of success. does anyone believe that would be best for shareholder value now?
bergerking is already a millionaire, his goal now is to be viewed as the steve jobs of the oncology field. maybe some day his name will be up in lights!...but at what cost?
its somewhat of a travesty of sorts, for ariad to have become nothing more than a speculation stock, after such promise. i hold bergerking Md. mainly responsible. if he cared about shareholder value, then at the least, a message to the community stating that they are currently brainstorming and or seeking out the best avenues, to advance their pipeline of discoveries. (would be a nice start)
in any case, lets hope that there are secret talks currently under way between the suits...for the best possible avenue.
this bit of news "should" make ariad more appealing to the larger entities…right?
bottom line, the company needs money to survive. you seem to understand the realistic view behind that statement. while some here claim that the company is undervalued at these prices, and to get ready for a spike upwards, we know its just pumping b.s. the company could be considered undervalued if it had the necessary funds to support its ongoing trials, but with little money left to carry its dreams forward, why would the price be doing anything else than the latest declining trend? the market knows the companies situation.
if the company does not partner or better yet get sold, Rachel m. price target might not look so dumb after all.
i do...i did not sell all my shares (as i should have), when the warning signs kept reoccurring to a company with so much promise?!
so now, i'll check in from time to time to see what the latest fads on this board are. and from what i can gather, it seems that a buyout would probably be in my best interest to sell my remaing shares. imo, harvey is to blame for the end results of this company. if not a buyout, then most likely sell when i become completely bored of this stock…and its minions.
have to say 2da, been enjoying reading ur posts, as of late. seems to be realistic views and concerns towards this particular stock. thats smart investing!...welcome back
with the self centered egotistical millionaire that is harvey burgerking at the helm, i tend to agree. which is why i would like to ask u what you think will become of ariad if a buyout does not occur this year?
in six months huh?…can u please explain to those that "know u well", who will be laughing and why? remember the key word here is WHO and more importantly WHY.
every once in awhile a poster like u comes along, aggressively pumping the stock for no apparent reason. the facts are out there. company needs money to survive, and harvey burgerking is not suited for the position he is in. those two alone continue to hurt shareholders value. remedy those problems (buyout, oust) and the longs will get rewarded. simple really
so, in a nut shell, for longs to make out financially before any more potentially undesirable news/event occurs, the company/harvey burgerking should do the right thing and open its doors to a big fish. not to difficult to understand.
hi vid! glad to see u are still posting daily on i hubs ariad message board, like the true champion of intellect, that u are. keep the folks entertained, old timer!…smiley face:)
true. but until something big (and for the better) happens at ariad, af is more in control of the markets than say...message boards...or harvey burgerking, for that matter. change always has an optimistic future. ceo must go! to brighten ariads outlook and temporarily quite detractors. its as simple as that.
forget what people (especially message boards!) say. ariad is harvey burgerkings dream. now, the ceo must go, for his dream to be realized.
