Gary, one thing to keep in mind is that Ascends side of the business which is 85% RAS has seen a 40% decline in price/port thereby severely cutting margins and yielding lower earnings despite growing revenues. That is a major concern to all whether that will continue further. Cascade's business in that sense has been ok, margin wise, and also has been gaining strength due to the fact that they have exposure to Ascends customers also. -hitesh

Gary, Good job pointing that out, Barrons does the most piss poor research I have ever seen. I mean it's one thing to always be negative, but to consistently publish incorrect information like they do is amazing. I used to subscribe but stopped due to the total lack of any useful insight. Scott
