""" Your experience is too short with IONS to understand what really happened."""
Your conclusion jumping is as usual way out on a limb with no facts to back it up.....
Since I still have shares that I paid single digits for (though not near as many) and also sold shares when Crooke was selling way above these current numbers I would say my experience has been quite satisfying to me...
Crooke made comments at the time of that deal that if you were a smart guy you would have figured it out when it happened...The probable interested buyers (my guess) was Novartis and Biogen was the White Knight...
If you want you can have the last word...
