Opinions welcomed. I'm still long as I can be.

As I read those opinions that are critical of my recent tone, it concerns me that we as a board are returning to being so passive. Maybe we can't influence anything. But we can notice what is happening.

Today...lower lows, lower highs. Not recovering with naz rally, still sinking. We are destined for $6.50 and then some.

Maybe some don't think that worthy of discussion. I do. I understand people don't want more fear. Me either. But I don't want to ignore what is happening either.

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.

Thanks for your great response, Aura
