Actually I have no options position on ASND right now. I'm holding a few hundred shares that I bought the morning after they announced they wouldn't make earnings.

I figured that after the Sloooowwwww, dragged-out, downward spiral that we had previous to the announcement, that we would see a bottom that morning. It appears that I may have been right about that.

I had intended to unload for a 10-15% trade, but now with all the buyout rumors swirling, I HAVE to hold.
Most likely alot of folks holding tight right now, not wanted to feel like an idiot by selling and then a buyout occuring.

inre MCAF- I came real close to getting burned in that mess too. I had a limit order in 2-3 different days just previous to the merger. Sure am glad it didn't get filled.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.<G>
