I understand that, but Ariad has shown be I don't have a clue as to what is going on here. I could never have guessed we could have gone back down below 7 after the drug was re-instated by the FDA, even with a new label. I think most of us, who have been here a long time are shell-shocked with the blindsided drop and the current performance. I am tired of watching this Ariad, but you cannot crawl into a hole, come back, after a time and see where the stock is. It has been brutal nonetheless. Dog.

2da, neither you nor I know that. So, please give a break and stop disseminating fear. My portfolio has been red all around for the last couple of weeks. Ariad being one but not the only one or the darkest red. So, does that mean that every one of those companies have a story like you suggest for Ariad? It hurts me too, I feel bad every day but if you are a long investor (and that is what an investor is and not like shorts who do now invest but only attempt to make money using the markets), you need to be patient. There is so much going on in markets, and shorties and bears are enjoying this greatly. We need to give a break and let the management, whether you like it or not, do their job. There are new active voices behind the closed doors and I am sure they will be more louder and forceful than you are here if something deserves attention. I agree we will have funding issues - but you have no clue as to what their plans are and how they are handling it. By throwing out conspiracy theories or "you know all" ideas, you are not doing any good.

Remember we are passive investors here and those who really made Ariad and worked hard day and night to build a company are the ones who need to make decisions. Like everybody, they made mistakes and probably will make more mistakes, but they are in a place to make those mistakes - as passive investors, it doesn't matter we like or dislike Harvey or the management.

Just my opinion.
