As a Belgian(Novartis is strong in my country unfortunately), I am very familiar with all the crap Novartis is good at(!) We can discuss hours and hours but I don't give a damn to them anyway.
These bullsh*t reports are not an issue anymore (at least for me)
WHY?
- they give me trading opportunities while waiting for our rocking results on EPIC and all other ongoing/obvious trials here and there. Time is on my side as a cool ARIAD investor.
- these attacks are harbingers of the rise of our planet's new oncology star -> ARIAD
