Uh??? Can someone explain to me why anyone believes he's got to hold
on to a dog stock? The last times I've gotten out and in of ASND
via DATEK:

12/22/97 09:32:42 Sold 100 ASND 27 $2689.92
12/29/97 12:55:10 Bought 100 ASND 23 7/8 $-2397.49

OK, I've got the same amount of the same dog, but I'm $300 happier
(except, I bought those previous 100 @29 ;-)...

OK, a pathetic trade but so what? I'm just puzzeled about the amount
of people who can't get out of a stock just because they'd lose money
on doing so. Isn't it better to get out on a peak than to follow the
stock down to the bottom again, or is there something amazingly
fundamental that I have misunderstood???

BTW - I also disagree with the first statement above - I believe ASND
will surprise us soon...
