Easy to say now. There was a time when we were led to believe Pona was 1st line and '113 was a triple threat. $16B would have been easy.

Ariad was never going to have and will never have a 16 bil mc.
Despite what some here might believe.

comparing revenue number and products pipeline between the twos, if someone willing to offer $16 billion for PCYC, then $4 billion (or $21/share) is a reasonable figure for ARIA

Another very interesting is short interests continue to increase even PCYC stock price is getting doubled in the last 3 months. I just don't understand their logic for not willing to cover their short positions. Given PCYC traded under $100/share 6 months ago, those 5.3 million shares shorted translated into a loss of nearly $700 millions at the stock price today.
