I would love to know what kind of price movement you're referring to...was it the drop and sudden climb? If so, I'm at a loss as to how that says much of anything, except that a great number of people thought that anything below 40 was a buying opp. Which makes alot of us mistake-prone. I think alot of those people are the ones who dumped the stock at the pre announcement. As an investor, I can say we don't need people like that holding the stock. I agree that the hit was painful...and I'm one of those who was a believer in the further upward mobility of ASPT. I still think it's a great stock, especially at these prices - but I think your time frame has to come into question. If you're angry about the $20k hit, then you must have a very short window.... I don't. If anything, I'm kicking myself for not selling at 69....but I still have very strong beliefs that this company is going to come out swinging and be back on its game swiftly. One thing I'm curious of - when it hit $69...did the drop occur because of the convertible bonds they had issued were suddenly converted? I don't know diddly about that stuff - anyone else?
