>>I don't think ASND will miss this quarter. If they do, they'are inviting big troubles for those directors who have sold shares recently. Isn't it illegal to trade based inside information? I intend to believe this quarter will be OK based the insider trading activities.<< Cute post; correct observation, innocent hypothesis, super-cute interpretation. Never thought insider selling could be interpreted this way; keep it up buy some more ASND, it is cheap. ;-)

>>I intend to believe this quarter will be OK based on the insider trading activities.<< Peter, good point. This makes sense if they do have a good shot for earnings, then the insiders would be allowed to trade now without any repercussion. Currently, the TA looks very short term Bearish. Stochastics shows this signal with a downward movement from 80 to 20 today. Then staying below 20 because the whole sector was down. Long term, I believe the 200 and 50 will cross the end of this year close to 26 - 28. Stochastics is showing a Bullish trend long term and in a slow upward movement on the 20 line. The last time it did that was mid October where it moved up ~3 points. Anyone else care to speculate. At least for moral support :o) HEX

I don't think ASND will miss this quarter. If they do, they'are inviting big troubles for those directors who have sold shares recently. Isn't it illegal to trade based on inside information? I intend to believe this quarter will be OK based on the insider trading activities. Peter, The above is an excellent point supported by articles recently posted to the thread on the same issue. You could say that now is the safest time to buy ASND, as there cannot be bad news out there that insiders are trading on. Gary Korn
