Dear Gary,
Call it intuition, or a "gut feeling," or a close friend connected to the deal, that is about as much as I can give you without risking and compromising something that was said to me in strict confidence. The thread may think I am full of it, however, I rarely post, and when I do, I am usually right. Example, said Fed would cut rates 50 basis points, and IT WILL HAPPEN. Said CPQ would rebound quickly from 28 to 33 (it took a week longer than I said), and it did.
I don't mean to blow my own horn. As we all know anything can happen. However, I believe the LU-ASND deal is a DONE DEAL, unless there were some amazing circumstances to prevent it, i.e., a company were to outbid LU, or the market collapsed again 500 or more points. Neither of which I see happening.
Look for a very big week for LU and ASND. I see LU at or around 82 to 88, maybe 90. ASND at or around .7 shares of LU, that is 58 to 63.
We will wait and see,
Good luck,
