If it can get to $15 then I think $35 is top end now.
It’s finally pretty clear what’s going on.
I can’t see us not rallying on high volume Monday (unless WAR!).

ILJIN bought 200,000 shares for a reason.

Repost from Investorshub for more info:

It's pretty clear that $35 is now top end for buyout.

Follow what Peter has done in the past. He sold Succompo near all time highs, and he'll sell AUPH near all time highs now that he has 900,000 additional options that he can exercise at 12.01

He never wanted share price to run to $30 on a leak (unless he was doing Neil a favor). Yes, Peter might have really wanted to sell for $50 last fall after the leak, but clearly BMY and others weren't willing to pay 6-7B. Peter wasn't going to sell for low premium (there might have been a low 40s offer, MAYBE..) so he took matters into his own hands.

1. Executed shelf offering
1a. Lied about not needing to use it, hit it hard.
2. Pumped "aggressive" guidance at Leerink (trapping retail btw).
2a. Delivered anything but aggressive guidance on 2/28.

Because of that, the stock is at $11 instead of $22,and of course he has made NO effort to defend share price.
Additionally, ILJIN has bought 200k shares for cheap, and everyone got options at 12.01. Pretty sweet deal...

So here we stand. AUPH will now be sold for roughly 100 to 200% premium based on stock price between $10 and $17, and now everyone will be happy to be done with this thing. Note the top end there is $34. See Succampo. Peter's execution is identical.

Whoever doesn't back up the truck on Monday morning, is either totally foolish or has a wife. I predict a frenzy on Monday with extremely volatile price action on high volume.

South Korean investor who got into a proxy war a couple of years ago. They used to own like 15% of the company and didn't like the direction we were headed. Can't blame them now...

I have a very high cost basis of $22. So you’re suggesting to buy a chunk on Monday and then expecting it to rally quickly? Is that your suggestion?

I'm suggesting that any investor should feel comfortable buying at prices that are lower or near $12. Because the CEO just locked in 900,000 shares at that price.

And he knows he'll be profiting from that level because he likely orchestrated his ability to get options at $12 and he will likely sell the company soon around $30.

Ultimately you've got to make your own decisions, but averaging down here appears to be a great strategy. My cost basis is around $11.

That’s fair. I’ll be purchasing when the markets open on Monday.

Cost basis is 11.52. I'll just ride or die with my paltry 250+ shares.

Is it a contributor article? If so I usually completely dismiss those, as anyone can submit them and they're usually pumper bullshite. I see them for AMC all the time.

I take the article as an excuse to trade almost 3 million shares before 11am.

PG: “Hey guys, let’s get an article out there to get some volume traded for our tute friends. Need to get that price to $16 be end of week for BMY’s $35 buyout”.

I'm sure it is.. just funny to watch the switch flip and narrative do a complete 180 since Friday when options were awarded

"This ship is sinking!........ right into slingshot position for eventual moon launch!!!11!"

The reporting and investment media are almost all the fruit of a poisoned tree.

You can't believe anyone at their word. They are generally spinning reality for personal financial reasons
