Here's a theory. I'm not saying its a good theory but, heck, you get what you pay for: The strength in ASND is from slow and steady accumulation of a 10% stake. How slow and steady? Sufficiently slow and steady to take until December 11, when CPQ will have another 2B shares authorized by its shareholders. I know I shot the CPQ theory in the foot by pointing out 2 insider sales that occurred in November, but maybe those insiders hadn't read the "Material Non-Public Information" posting on the bulletin board in the officers' dining room. So that this post is not totally useless, posted below are ASND block trades of 50,000 or more from today back to 11/5. They do seem to be accelerating: ASND - Yesterday Log 11/13 12:18 S 95000 23'45s 11/13 11:40 S 50000 23:7 11/13 11:35 S 50000 23:7 11/13 9:58 S 50000 24.3 11/13 9:53 S 50000 24.4 11/13 9:47 S 50000 24:E 11/12 12:29 S 50000 24:T 11/12 10:50 S 56600 24.1 11/10 12:10 S 50000 23.4 11/10 12:03 S 67100 23.4 11/10 11:41 S 50000 23.6 11/07 2:13 S 50000 23.6 11/07 1:51 S 51500 23.5 11/07 9:55 S 60000 23.6 11/06 3:31 S 50000 24.7 11/06 2:37 S 50000 25 11/06 12:34 S 50000 25:1 11/05 1:51 S 50000 25.7 B end of data
