Don, Dough, 2da...

In the interests of some dubious illusion of economy, I'll try to issue a joint post.

Don,

Thanks for your clear response. Agreed, why partner 534 now when money and resources are sufficient to solo for the time being and a growing appreciation of ariad's strength in general and 534's prospects in particular should give them so much more leverage later on(Although I had my doubts at the outset,it seems clear now as I believe you noted that the rida renegotiation was in overview a good deal for ariad).

Don and Dough,

Thanks for the heads up on Idix and the biotech values board. Will check them out!

2da,

Thanks for the welcome and all your technical insights and encouragement over the last few months.


So guys, maybe it's jumping the gun, but what about the prospects for an accelerated 113 timeline(see post #267)? It seems pretty likely to me and if it's as obvious to the institutions, it should provide even more rocket fuel.

What do you all think?

Gee, with all this investigation and speculation, I feel like I'm back in graduate school.

Best,
