<<GARY The Livingston deal or any deal that is more than 3.5 times sales boggles my
small mind!>>

I've mentioned to the thread before that when acquiring a company you
don't just look at current sales, you look at futures, markets growth
projected revenues, as well. You also look at the present and future
value of what you get (engineers, patents, products, customer base,
technology, effects on competition, etc.).

Five years out ASND's revenues could be 7-8 times what they are today,
if they can maintain or extend their relative market percentages,
because the markets are growing too.

Anything less than 8X current sales is a steal, IMO.
