I agree with EVERYTHING you just said.
Think about it: how many times did he insinuate there would be no dilution and '534 would be funded with a partnership? And, in typical, pump & dump fashion, on the same day of the Endo news (LOL) he dilutes 14%. This isn't the first time (probably the 5th time). And, how much do you want to bet when he does partner '534, its a "global" deal much similar to the Merck deal.
Ariad would be much better off without Berger. Period.
And Ed Fitzgerald? He's just a puppet of The Harv, scared to death of going against anything The Harv says: remember, Laurie Allen? She went against The Harv and got canned (as did others).
The problem with The Harv is that, in the times I have spoken with him, he is steered by his politics (when I spoke with him he complained about this Administration and this and that and this and that - he thought it was prudent LAST dilution to do the price where they did it because he thought the Administration would kill the market). I think the Harv is a puppet of the I-Bankers and is persuade very easily.
