“To be very clear, Ariad is not for sale,” said Maria Kantor, the company’s vice president for corporate affairs, in a telephone interview Wednesday afternoon. “We are committed to remaining independent and building a global commercial oncology company. Our business is built around our internally discovered and developed cancer medicines.”

Ariad was not for sale on Feb. 7, 2013. Is it for sale now? I doubt it. What is the poison pill for?

When ARIA was at $1.70 in 2009, Dr. Harvey Berger said it would be at least $65/share for an acceptable buyout offer.

Does he want to sell the company now? Would a big company offer what he asks for?

"We had a little set back, but we will be stronger than ever in 2014. The best is yet to come," said dr_harvey_berger.

This dr_harvey_berger on YMB sounds like the real Dr. Harvey Berger.
