Larry,
COMS shows considerable insider selling during the same time-frame as ASND:
10/29 Stephen Johnson 10,000 shares 10/28 John McCartner 100,000 shares at 4,850,000 = 48.5/sh 10/28 Ross Manire 100,000 shares at 5,087,500 = 50.9/sh 10/16 Casey Cowell 40,000 shares at 2,088,568 = 52.2/sh (there are other, earlier trades, I didn't post)
An earlier post had said to look at premerger insider trading of both acquiring and acquired companies.
I found two CSCO trades (25,000 on 10/6 and another 5,000 on 9/29, both by Edward Kozel), certainly not as similar to the ASND pattern as is COMS.
I found no LU trades in the past month.
