unfortunately for longs, anyone that has been following this stock, should realize that unless a pop in price occurs, from lets say, a buy out rumor...it seems that ariad, will most likely have a slower, but steady climb, up. conference calls usually do not escape big time investors scope of the good, bad, or ugly truth before its announced. price is usually factored in, before the call takes place. but reflecting back at previous calls performances...i'm sure most knew that.
