Should I sell this dog and put the money into DELL?

YES! Sell the stock that is, by most valuation measures,
cheaper. Just compare.

Bold are the theoretically better valuations:

Valuations
measure ASND DELL
% from 52 High 38% 0%
Price to earn. 34 37
PEG ratio .94 1.37
Earnings Grwth 36% 27%
Price to sales 9.76 3.23
Price to book 9.65 29.19
Price to cash 14.20 19.80
Return on Asst 23.66 23.85
Return on Equt 27.47 78.83
Profit Margins 19.00% 7.50%

Looks to me that ASND is the less exspensive stock. The ROA and
ROE values, where Dell appears to have an advantage, are distorted by
the low levels in the denominators. So, go ahead and sell it and buy
DELL. :)

Wayde.
