> Endorsement from Robertson Stephen

Lanny:

Endorsement did come from none other than Salomon Smith Barney
for a Buy a few days ago and the analysts over there are either on par or better than MS/Goldman Sachs/JP analysts. I can vouch on this issue.

This was the third Upgrade in the last ten days. Today's ASND
upgrade was mentioned by Bloomberg at least half a dozen times.
They even mentioned that ASND will report at the high end of
the estimates.

<Asnd does not jump
with today's upgrades probably because when Robertson Stephens talks, people don't
care. It may be a lot different today if the endorsements come from Morgan Stanley,
Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan.>

how asnd cutely closed right on the spot at 30 - 30 1/16 seems like a really nice strategic move with 20K+ (30 calls), 10K+ (30 puts) and 10k+ (35 calls). What a nice long weekend for the writers-
