Vidpok don't get me wrong. I've been reading you posts for along time and i respect you. But i have a big problem with HB. I don.t know how many conference calls i listened to about Rida this Rida that.
Now after the Rida fiasco i Don't trust HB. It seems a bit odd imo when everyone and everyone thought Aria would tank after the commitees review of Rida instead it went up. Why then the insiders ran for the door.

Drank too much CAB good night.

Ok, scrolled down and read the response. I also respect your opinion, and have some concerns although I never was that enthused about rida but have a lot of faith in Ponatinib, so the rida fiasco was , to me, not a huge surprise . The fact that berger engineered a pretty favorable change of terms prior to that event has bolstered his standing in my opinion. Clacksons sales were mostly automatic I believe, planned well in advance which should argue against insider knowledge of incipient bad news, correct? Still, the timing is interesting, suggesting clackson anticipates a post Asco selloff which I think if we are honest about it, most of us do as well. The question then becomes do we ride out a post Asco selloff in anticipation of future positive catalysts, or take profits now. I guess there are an infinite number of variables that will decide that for each one of us.
