<<It seems that you guys make the biggest mistake in investing and that is falling in
love with your stocks. I guess going from 80 to 20 and can't even stay above 30 is a
good investment.>>

Tim, you are primarily a trader, not an investor. The fact the stock can't "stay above 30" is a short-term sentiment and perception issue - it has nothing to do with ASND's fundamentals.

Sentiment and perception is in the process of changing. So it takes a while? I'm holding my core position for a Loooong time, trading a portion. I'm not in love with ASND, but it's long term prospects and long term price appreciation look more solid to me than most other companies - certainly in the networking sector.

Take CSCO for example. Which will double sooner from today's price?
