>>Anyone knows how often analysts downgrade at the bottom and upgrade at the top? My guess is 90%.<<

I tend to agree with you...probably the same percentage of people who buy at the top and sell at the bottom! After this Spring and this pullback, I am going to start keeping track. I can't find any info on Goldman's comments a few weeks ago when it was 50ish. Didn't they upgrade it to their "Recommended List", and site 35% growth, etc?

Did I dream it or what?

I guess things have gotten so bad for the company in the last few weeks that it is worth 30-40% less now. < G >

I like the tax selling scenario. I think it is certainly contributing. I also think it is window dressing by fund managers as we are ending the quarter. ASND has attracted a lot of negative press lately, and managers want to remove it from their holdings.

Just my opinion.
