It'll never see the teens. Don't be brainwashed by the shorts. They'll be holding their shorts when the BIG players creep up on them - and let me tell you the stock will pop so quick they'll wish they didn't wait for the teens. No way will the market allow this stock to hit a P/E that would be EXTREMELY low if the stock price were to hit the teens. No way.

Re: a buyout. Just a lot of dreamers looking for the prince to come and save them from the evil marketplace. Buy the stock b/c it's has no where to go but up, not b/c of wishful thinking (e.g., buyout).

IMHO

Mr. McCoy,

Is your $16 price based on any analysis or is it just a personal wish ? And while we discussing analysis, are you employing the same model that you used to employ to evaluate MADGF ? If I were to correlate your ASND's $16 price with MADGF's, I would determine that MADGF has a value of about $1 - $3.

Regards

Your entry point of $16 is interesting, I ran some numbers this evening and arrived at $16.09. The weakness in asnd is obvious but what is not is the fact that asnd shows NO sign of bottoming, let alone turning around. 16-17 is where I would expect to see support, therefore it seems highly likely that another 35% drop in market cap is ahead of us. Still not long but waiting patiently for entry point.

mark,

Most people on this thread have unpleasant feelings towards the short.
However, the shorts are right so far. I think the thread should hear the other side of the story. Can you give your honest opinion on ASND and when and what price you started the short, and the logic behind your decision?

regards
