The decline in short interest has nothing at all to do with faith in Ascend. It is merely the unwinding of an arbitrage play that occured prior to the Casacde merger.

People would buy Cascade and short Ascend. Thus insuring a profit if the deal closed.

Rather the action in the market for this stock has not been good this week. There is still way too much overhang under 55 as Wednesday and Thursday showed.

2:30 is ussually the weakest time of the day for this stock. However on a summer Friday anthing can happen going into the close. Light volume, heavy opportunity for manipulation by MM.

Hopefully next week will be better. I would sure be happier if we had closed above 50 for the week.
