Negotiating Process.........IMHO, in all probability, Ariad is "For Sale" and due to it's current positioning that does NOT mean "Fire Sale". That said, what could be happening is that because of many factors involved including, trials, partnering, marketing relationships, financing, etc, the asking price keeps going up. With those variables in play it is only wise to wait out the process in getting the best price. Why sell low when with so many good things happening or that could happen the eventual buyout (perhaps in 3-12 months) could and would be a lot more per share? I believe that Denner is truly an excellent and savy financial engineer and he knows what he is doing in this arena (buyout and maximizing shareholder value) for he is absolutely in this with us. For sure, we do not know what is going on behind the scenes but all indications lead me to believe that patience is the key and that jumping to negative conclusions is short sighted as the day to day tea leaves (trading patterns) can be very misleading. I would just say be patient and keep the faith.........I am.
