djane, I agree that asnd and lu would make a good combination and I suppose they both know that. My concern is that for asnd to be waiting for lu is to put the company in a dangerous position. For that to work both ceo's would have had to come to some meeting of the minds and I can't believe that either would take the legal risk in that. On the other hand, as you alluded to, if asnd is to take a "go it alone" position it runs the risk of making itself less attractive to this potential suitor. In my experience ceo's tend to be pretty leary of what questions they might get asked when they might end up in court. My fear is that we might find ourselves out on a limb after October, with lu going off in another direction and as you pointed out, the competion getting much stiffer in coming years. I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that asnd must ignore the possibility of a buyout and proceed as if they will be a stand alone.
