Lex, Agree with you on direction, progress, not on potential suitors. The last one should come later on, lol. But with Mike King of JMP who is highly regarded among his peers, it doesn't hurt to hear from him the direction where ariad is heading in the long run. In the short term, I don't worry one iota as I have the lexometer to rely on day in day out,: >)

I mean, look at those who said ARIA would have to dilute soon last fall. Then ARIA comes up with multi millions, making deals and agreements. Who knew that was coming?

Lex, I'm confused. Are you saying that 2da was wrong in his predictions regarding dilution? Your statement that "ARIA comes up with multi millions" tells me you are aware of the several dilutions that have occurred since the crash, but perhaps you don't consider selling off a company's valuable assets to be dilution.

That's just plain scary.

It's a shame people who talk about the increase in the value of Ariad, don't concentrate on the increase in market cap and then talk about the drastic increase in either shares outstanding, debt levels or sales of other valuable assets. All of those events are dilution and the subsequent squandering of the proceeds is shameful.

But, don't worry HB will continue to draw his substantial salary and will award himself plenty more options.
