Mark-- <<On June 30, 1997, Cascade was merged in Ascend (Ascend being the survivor company)for a consideration of $2.5 billion.>> Wrong! $3.7 Billion was the value AGREED upon when ASND/CSCC ended talks. That is what ASND thought CSCC was worth. ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 1997 Under the terms of the agreement, each share of Cascade common stock will be exchanged for 0.7 of a share of Ascend common stock. Outstanding options to purchase Cascade stock will be converted at the exchange ratio into Ascend options. The transaction is intended to be accounted for as a pooling of interests and to qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Based on the closing price of Ascend common stock on March 27, 1997, the deal is valued at approximately $3.7 billion.

hello Mark - I know the mood at this pt in time is not conducive to jesting, but hope people don't take offense... you sez "Could there be an one or several big investment houses behind the shorting and descent. Who knows?" I thought that would be a foregone conclusion. It is more a matter of whether it is a temporary phenomenon or a long lasting event. Go ask Oppie how much $ it made on the BRE-X debacle. rgds Bosco
