James, I have day traded asnd over 100 times this year so I do have a good feel of the stock. Right now I'm sitting on 300 shares and I plan on holding them until ASND hits 50, which I'm predicting (if they are not bought out) around April-May 98. I really doubt all the rumors of a buyout, I think its just pure stock manipulation and it works for a very short time but in the long run it hurts the stock. I'm still sticking by my predictions of asnd trading in the 32-38 range for the rest of this year. I don't see any reason to change my feelings on this. Nov and Dec will be great months for the tech stocks to rally, I just don't see asnd being part of that. This past earnings really hurt the stock and that will carry over to the next report but once we get past that I think the stock will fly. Asnd will have no problem hitting 50-60 and higher, they just have to get by one more qt. But for right now I don't see any major jump in price until after the new year.

>>Further, if Lucent is a possible player, why not AT&T? Armstrong made some pretty aggressive comments on CNBC this made me curious as to overall picture....any thoughts?<< It would be an immediate reversal of course for AT&T to spin off one equipment mfr (Lucent) to aquire another. It generally doesn't make for good business practice...trying to sell equipment to WorldComm/UUNET while using its profits to expand into WCOM markets. Lucent has prospered since being divested, with its markets opening up.
