Salomon Smith Barney's upgrade of ASND from Neutral to Buy seems to have pulled COMS up over 31 quite nicely. o~~~ O

Furthermore, Lax and others said that Silicon Investor could get hammered if it doesn't raise money and beef up marketing as other big players move more aggressively into stock discussion boards. I don't know, there something about SI and the timing of the whole thing. They did the right thing at the right time. I haven't seen any other investor chat boards that interest me and SI is now so large and well established that I really have my doubt's if any other chat boards could get a foot hold. I think they did the right thing by holding out and IMO better things will come their way. Derek
