i am convinced you are an ariad lifer (you have even stated as much). so what you say is a moot point. i challenge you, or any other so called investor in ariad stock, to debate what has transpired since the crash and up to this point, is not strictly based on burger staying in power. dilute, partner, stay the course for years = all for burgers benefit and not for shareholder value or for patients. a three month slow and steady climb in stock price has been almost wiped out in three days because of this blatant abuse of power mongering. there has not been one press release in the past year, in which the stock price rose afterwards, not one!...stay the course? for who?!...the company needs to be sold for everyone to reap the rewards, not just for burger and his merry men.
