>>>Both companies are "leaders" in their fields and both have "must-have" technology and are lead by awesome management. NOT!<<< ROFL! No kidding, Karl. Hey Chi, still suffering a hangover from last night's keg party, huh? ZITL compared to ASND?? You jest. Zitel was born on Year2000 hype a couple years ago. They have no decent product/solution that is any different from the rest of the beans in the bag, they are burdened with debt, and they are losing money like crazy. And worst of all, no one is taking the Y2K problem seriously. Where the hell is the correlation? Ok, I've seen ASND compared to SHVA, Gandalf, ZITL, ATCT. What next...some mom+pop burger joint? Get real! Style Pts.

ASND has haunched a huge recruiting program for its R&D, and they just opened a huge R&D center in Mountain View (Silicon Valley). You can listen to their R&D recruting ads on Radio (in additon to the Sunday paper - San Jose Mercury). So the way I take this is as long as the company is expanding its R&D in such an aggressive way the possibility of great future is at hand. It is just the short term (and short term of course needs to be defined here!) that seems to generate so much painful feelings toward this company and in particular its stock!
