Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc fka ARIA

[zuize]

To you it's absurd, because you only know yours and not understand other people views.

If you had those leap (calls) purchased in October 2013, then you would hope for a B/O announced as soon as possible to maximize the huge gain. But as for JP, TC, et. they're seeing the potential of ARIA to be traded over $100s range in a few years, they're not interested in selling their shares in $20s for now.

"I don't want any buyout now or in the near future"

a buyout means a guarantee increase in your financial investment. holding out on hopes that ariads share price will amount to more than a buyout price, is not a guarantee. what kind of investor does not want a guarantee to increase their financial holdings?…absurd and an illogical investment strategy.
