BioRocks, Jess, Purvida, MrPlmer, Vid and others who think we are on the right track....
Let's face it, we all here don't have all of the facts and will be in the dark until a BO happens and until that time we can only read the "tea leaves" as to accumulation by the smart money, development of and becoming a 2 drug company, and being in the hands of both operating professionals along with a master (aka Dr. Alex Denner) in the M&A arena.
Of course nothing is a straight line to where we want to be (no specific BO predictions) yet if one looks at where Ariad has been, where it is now along with the potential for an even better outlook then it appears that we are running on all cylinders.
Bottom line, things will get better and better and then it's just a matter of parties agreeing on value in this M&A rich atmosphere with more money from offshore that BP will have to play with and being even more risk tolerant with pressure by their BOD's and shareholders to grow and gain market share. Ariad, is an ideal, ready made way to achieve those goals. IMHO
