when I bought what I thought was an upside breakout at 55 but instead turned out to be a local top I would have appreciated some bearish sentiment.

Excellent point. I have been short ASND lately, but by no means am I a bear. I am on the sidelines and looking for an entry point to buy. I have made many negative comments on ASND lately, not because I am a bear, but because ASND is in trouble.

In much of my reading, it has been pointed out that longs in a declining position will tend to hug positive comments/posts/articles and reject negatives. This is human nature. We wish to justify our position. But in a trader/investor, this can be fatal. We should weigh both sides of an issue.

Just trying to stay on the right side of the trade. Good luck to all.
