Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc fka ARIA

I think the talk of MRK buyout is unrealistic. I doubt HB is willing to sell his life's work for $15 when he thinks he has an a provable winner in 1 1/2 years. Aria could very well be worth that on 534 alone in a year. I think the Harv's asking price is prob too lofty for MRK to seriously consider gobbling up Aria.

BTW, BTH (and I) were pretty off base on the pps after the offering. We may have been pushing against $5 if it never happened, but it has been holding up very well. For the long time followers of Aria, I think we are in a new paradigm for this company.

Just my two cents, what do u guys think?
