DJ, first of all don't misjudge me with your generalizations. I have been an investor in ASND, COMS, USRX, CSCO in this sector. The thing I like is results. I am an equal opportunity kind of guy when it comes to results. I have liked the ASND story, I regret that I didn't follow my instincts and stay away for the dips that I have made into the ASND waters. But I blame only myself. I have believed that they would continue to perform, even through the Cascade merger. My mistake. I have been as frustrated as many on the ASND thread with their inability to execute on their story. Imo not signing x2 has probably been a mistake, that few over there are willing to own up to. It's true there has been a bit of dumping on Uncle Mory. But he's the guy in charge and he doesn't seem to communicate much of a vision thing. More of an operations guy than a strategic thinker. I think he is deserving of a fair amount of responsibility for not leading his company, for not articulating a coherent vision, and for all too often putting a better face on things than facts seem to have warranted. In theory he was supposed to be managing my capital stake in ASND. But it looks to me like he hasn't performed. This does not please me. So he no longer works for me any more. But I will continue to exercise my right to express my opinion of his job performance, during the time that he was working for me. You have been an unabashed cheerleader for ASND. That's fine with me. I'm glad you have the energy to look for all the positive things you have dug up. That's one of the compelling strengths of this SI forum. Everybody enjoys being right and it's no fun the other way. I would take no pleasure in rubbing ASND misfortune in your face, but let's not have victory dances when COMS drops either. Being right gives me no pleasure, when it is not accompanied by profit. It's all a little like being a good sport. Gratuitious poor sportsmanship is not a useful exercise.
