Before piling in...call the company and grill them on time line for that ARGENT partner...or, gasp, go through the smallcaps thing and see if they are indicating anything new. (or don't call, never did me any good--awfully tight lipped, and LaMarche has no love for 'the chat rooms'.
GrandmaofJ on the Yahoo thread may indeed have a connection, that person has repeated several times on Yahoo over the last year that their stepdaughter works there, seems unlikely that somebody would just spam the same BS over and over, although if I were the Ariad employee I'd tell "Grandma" to put a lid on it. We have been waiting for a partner all year, don't see how spreading the rumor again will speed the deal up any.
It does make sense that they'd secure a partner now, with the 35M in hand, position-of-strength and all that--but load up, well, don't go nuts-- a sure way to tempt Berger to screw things up again, tho I doubt he'd ever do a toxic again, he learned his lesson with my money <g>, but these fellas always seem to find a way. Yes Ariad is still my largest position, but Rick's frequent comments whenever he smells lousy management will echo in my noggin for the next decade.
Not that I listen to Rick in all cases, better to get rich slowly than so fast, heheh. AXPH trending up...and nobody has had much good to say about the management team over there either, but a bargain is a bargain, right? |
