You left out what is (IMO) the most likely explanation. If MNTA’s officers have in fact terminated their 10b5-1 plans (which is something we don’t know yet), the company is probably in discussions about being acquired.

I understand why you're very careful with your posts, but I'm glad that you finally just came out and said that.

Who do you think would be a likely suitor, if this is indeed the case? NVS, BAX, or someone else?

My conclusion is similar that it would be buy-out related, although it is obviously still too early to tell if they have in fact stopped them.

But while we're on the topic, what would be a fair price for MNTA at this juncture. I would hope they wouldn't take anything less than $2b....
