I don't know much about shareholder lawsuits but I would think someone could join a lawsuit and still hold their shares. If this is true why in the world would they want the stock to go down? I don't understand the logic behind some of the posts here. It is speculation based on circumstantial evidence, but I still think the company screwed up. I think the FDA was concerned about the adverse event rate and Ariad essentially called their bluff. I haven't explored this lawsuit stuff but I might look into it in the future. I think the decision to join a lawsuit should ethically be dependent on what you believe happened and the resulting culpability of the company based on what could have been some legally questionable statements and actions while their lead product was in apparent jeopardy .
