I talked to an Ascend PR person today. The statement of 10% q-q sequential growth was NEVER uttered in San Diego. The Company is comfortable with the Wall Street estimates for next q, 23 cents, and $1.18/share for 1998 with $1.4 billion revs- 25%-28% revs increase over trailing 12 mos. I do like the fact that ASND is being realistic and conservative on its approach to analysts. They are playing ball with the Wall Street pros.

I am greatly disturbed at some of the participants who have insulted if that is possible,Mr. Cramer. I thought the purpose of these threads was to give individuals an opportunity to share their views. Right or wrong. Remember we live in a democracy. I personally am tired of all the hits from some members toward each other. One of the factors that I like and respect about Mr. Cramer is that he gives his honest opinions. So what if we don't agree. Terrie, All I have heard from James J. Cramer is foul mouthed insults to people he doesn't know...I have not heard him be civil to anyone on this thread except, the last post where he apologized for his comments. I have never read a post of his with his comments on Ascend. Only him defending his bashing of ASND? I could go on? Everyone has a right to a voice. JJC is self serving and it shows badly by his remarks. So, I feel insulted by this post.IMHO Read his comments to me in his e-mail today. By James J. Cramer Our readers keep asking me if I am a trader or an investor. I always respond the same way: What a stupid and false dichotomy. In the interest of nipping this question forever, let me tell you why. This is not football, where you play offense or defense. This is like hockey, where everybody has an opportunity and everybody is expected to take it. Days like last Monday and Tuesday represented a chance for everybody to be a trader. It could take weeks, months, or even years, for some stocks to replicate the moves of last week. But if you frowned on these opportunities because they were too "trading oriented" then either you don't know what you are talking about or you are incredibly lazy. Yes, we definitly disagree on investment styles. Jeff Jordan

that's funny but i don't ever recall reading that he {C} was a long term buffet type investor- i like asnd LONG TERM- i am looking for a suitable buy in point and have been since it was $50- i argued my point with mr crawford from $45-55 and didn't short because i like the logistics of the company and the synergy of asnd/cscc. it will pay off- just a question of when. and as it stands i have a LONG LONG time frame- regards taxi
