Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MNTA)

[Rocky3]

"Posters who trade MNTA and think that MNTA’s economic incentives are aligned with theirs—and who thereby think some kind of comprehensive settlement with Teva is in the cards—strike me as unseasoned."

There is nothing unseasoned about investors who would love to see MNTA reduce the risk involved in their business. It is the duty of management to maximize the value of our shares. It is not the duty of management to take unnecessary risk. Count me as one of those "unseasoned" investors who would like to see a settlement and the stock price much higher!

I take exception too, but not for the same reason. JMO, "MNTA's economic incentives" (not mine) in the eyes of the management should not have included an offering last fall. It was evidence of economic weakness at the time, not strength. I understand that management had to consider all alternatives and that it is now water under the dam, but I stand with my view that it was a bad management decision, and hurt the company (not just the stock price) more than it helped it. As a holder of the stock for the long term (or any seasoned investor), one would be hard pressed to see it any other way.

JMO.
