Mary, if you don't mind maybe you can respond to the same question. My experience with stocks that have been delisted is that they do indeed decline in value. Will you be shorting ASTN stock in anticipation of this event?.You have posted quite a few negative sentiments concerning ASTN and if you have complete confidence in your opinions then shorting the stock at this point would, it would seem to me, be the closest thing you could get to a sure thing. I already know that if ASTN is delisted later and the stock price plummets that Auric will claim that he was short all along. I was hoping you might rise to a slightly higher plane than Auric and tell us all in advance whether or not you are shorting the stock. Regards, Edscharp
