<<<<Warburg Dillon Read LLC analyst Nikos Theodosopoulos today cut his rating on Ascend to ''hold'' from
''buy,'' citing a premium in the company's market valuation from takeover speculation>>>>

I don't know who this Nikos guy is but I'm convinced he adds a new dimension to the meaning of : " it's not what you know but who you know. " I mean what else could it be when he downgrades on the basis of valuation? Check out the following:



P/E for ASND is 46; for Peers= 59

Price to Book for ASND is.8,; Peers= 10.5

Price to Sales for ASND = 7.64 ,; Peers= 8.6

These Valuation Ratios are per Market Guide. Well, according to Nick, the entire Computer Networking Industry will be downgraded in the morning as well. LOL.
