Re : Pam211
I've been watching this morning and it looks like it might reverse trend today. I have a farfetched theory about why the price declined. If Rose Glen received a large amount in convertible ASTN stock in its recent financing deal and wished to hedge its position against a price decline, they might have done it by shorting the common (since there is no option market in ASTN stock). If they did sell short the stock, then it would have moved the price down. I'm hoping to stay long because at some point they will decide to un-hedge their position by buying back the shares they sold short, which will move the price back up. This is total speculation on my part. Maybe someone could tell me if I'm off here. For now, I'm staying long.
