Gary, Good morning and welcome back. Have you seen the latest short interest for ASND? I'm wondering to what extent the big rise resulted from short covering.

Gary, right..and thanks. that data is valuable. I agree that accumulation is occurring. I have real time too. What I mean about "delayed" is this: it is my understanding that when two "big boys" want to facilitate a trade, the negotiations take place prior to the transaction. Once the deal is sealed, the transaction occurs. If the stock has moved in the time the negotiations took place, (5-10 minutes or whatever), then I see a trade that is "old". If I am a buyer of 50K shares, (ah! what a concept!) I'll try and get the cheapest price I can, (under the bid?) If the stock has moved down in the meantime, my "buy" could look like a "sell" I understand your methodology, but I am unclear as to the logistics and time line on these big trades. ( If the stock is not moving, then the point is moot.) Looks like somebody may have seen TIME yesterday...
