Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc fka ARIA

[JJM760]

Question for all:

Disclosure: Been watching Aria since 1997. Owned some shares before the rise to 40's (didn't sell at the highs). Sold some when we were on the way down. Now own a ton of shares that I have been buying since $1 and up. I currently have a substantial gain (cost average in the $2's) and I am at the 1 year hold for a big % of my position. I have a big % of my portfolio in ARIA. I think the RIDA deal was prudent and necessary for the company. 534 looks to be a potential blockbuster. I love the long term perspective for the company, but don't like the near term for the overall market. I fear a near term share collapse as traders take off any investments that are deemed to be risky (as we have seen recently). I think many of us might be in this situation, so here are my questions:

What do you think of Aria's share price if we see a overall market decline?
Is anyone considering selling and hoping to buy back at a lower price?
What do you make of the current low volume?

I understand that there is a risk of missing some great news that propels the stock to a price significantly higher than $3.47.

Thanks and good luck too all.
