Ariad actually had very little hype. They simply let their many papers speak for the company. And your stuff about the ARIA spike... Let's see now Peter, during the same period: - AFFX: went from 8 to 150 - CRA: went from 7 to 250 - CRGN: went from 2 to 125 - GENE: went from 5 to 80 - GLGC: went from 3 to 150 - HYSQ: went from 4 to 130 and on and on and on…. Hmmmm. Actually what happened with ARIA is that it went along for the ride while all the over-hyped, product-challenged genomics companies did everything they possibly could to 'encourage the feeding frenzy'. Certainly the hype by dozens of genomics BTs was orders-of-magnitude more extreme than ARIA could have even manufactured. Sorry, Peter. ARIA was a follower, not a leader, in the feeding frenzy department. They didn't need the PR.
