Regarding the last day in 1997 to sell stock for tax purposes wouldn't last friday have been the last day ? If I sold stock on friday of last week the trasnaction would settle on wednesday of this week the last day of the year. Therefore, tax related selling must have ended last friday ? Help anyone. Thanks

Hello: Some feedback please. No frustrated emotions and pipe-dreams and longing hopes. Just raw objectivity. This is year end and publications are listing stocks to hold (CSCO), and some beat up stocks that should make a comeback, or at lest a bounce (INTC), AMAT). Two of the publications I get, the LA Times and the WSJ have done this, and ASND was NOT one of the mentioned stocks. What will ASND do in the near (3-6 months) months. Losses have been heavy, and prospects appear light. Have these publications just overlooked ASND, or is there sound reason for not listing ASND as a "comeback" stock? Logical and fact filled thoughts please! JRM
