Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Message Board

a 400lb responder would lose 20-40 lbs, not 10.

thanks Fib, it's good to hear you are still with us. It's been slow on the IMGN MB and with the stock price/volume. Not much new interest it seems. I ran into a key person who seemed excited about another new compound entering the clinic this year, maybe we will hear more about that soon, not that a new molecule will have much effect on the stock price.

If ARNA execs could communicate better this would not still be an issue. I amd others told them a long time ago, to change the focus of their communication to responders and non-responders, but they have failed to control the conversation and let shorts define efficacy. Shorts are out to destroy and ARNA execs are in love with self enrichment in the form of low-priced option awards, so the investors, who own the company get the screws.

disagree, I think the initial script numbers will be fine, maybe even good. I think the selling is related to managements excessive greed. The stock started declining when the S8 was filed. It might be conicidence, but it's getting old. This is a public company, not Jack Leif and friend's private company. The BOD needs to reing in the excesses.

Not sure I like this idea, why should ACAD, a winner tie in with ARNA, the loser. If they could fire the terrible ARNA execs and stop the excessive greed and dilution, it might make sense. I sold the $8 calls to try and exit this declining POS, so there's no upside potential for me in this proposal, I vote against it.

well, I bought at $2, never heard of KNDI, will check it out. I like TSRX and IMGN, but wait until afternoon to buy IMGN, it always fades shortly after the open and usually rallies on the close. TSRX has 50% upside, probably not 2-4x like some ther bios, but less risk based on strong phase III trials.

agree that ARNA exect like to reward themselves with copiuos free shares and cheap options. They are certainly making every effort to help the shorts by diluting shareholders and with poor communications. I thought my large call sale on Friday would have boosted the short term price, but I guess I had no effect. Ready to exit from this time sucking drama stock.

yep, getting tired of the drama and lost time with no financial benefit. I hown and know about other stocks that go up, at least more than they go down!

I can't believe people are so lacking in knowledge, these are grants to Directors with a zero cost basis, free shares, $100K for a few meetings. Nice deal if you can get it.

TSRX is a by into any market weakness until it reaches at least $9-10+ IMO of course.

This is fraud and you can be prosecuted. I am sure someone will report this post to the SEC.

I can cite numerous examples of biotech's climb to very high levels well in advance of script data, ore even final approval. Spending too much time on this money and time draining stock, GL!

Amen, we finally have a shareholder/owner that understands the primary responsbility of a CEO is to maximize shareholder value, not spend time making endless corporate amendments to find ways to get more wealth for the CEO and friends. It appears to me they are paying the BOD members $100,000, $12,000+ free shares. What do they do for that $ meet a few times a year and rubber stamp JL's plan to dilute the shareholders? I am talking myself out of ARNA, will be gone soon to a company that treats my money better.

so you don't agree that 43/217 is 20%. Sorry to bring out the angry JD, you always get personal when anyone offends your beloved JL. You call yourself a Christian, so behave like one.

givinf away 43 million shares, or 20% is not normal. I have been investing in biotech 20+ years, I have never seen anything like it. It should be illegal, it's a transfer/theft of wealth from the shareholders IMO.

I assume they will get 3% of $18MM this quarter. That's not much, but the number will build over time. It would be nice to see some IMS sales data. Someone should have access to the monthly sales figures.
