You know I must admit, Gary, Pete and Josi all have just made good points. This by far all my fault that we are even having these posts. When I think "someone" is interested in asnd it is as just what it means. ("someone" is in my opinion a few companies that are looking) Yes I admit that I can get things going and people a little pissed at me but I mean no harm to anyone. I think today is the best day to end all this BS and just keep my mouth shut. Gary I have never bashed you in fact I have praised you in the past for your hard work on the thread. But that is besides the point, you all have my word I will end my posts that seem to annoy certain people on the thread, its not worth all this. Alot of the time I'm just trying to lighten up the thread, I'm not trying to make anyone lose money that is the most ludicrous thing I have heard. On a positive note I think all the people on this thread are great and that includes you Gary (Korn) you have added alot to the thread. One last thing regarding asnd is that I think the company is finally turning around and it all seems to up from here, I doubt that asnd will see the 20's again. I wish you all the best of luck and hope you all make a ton of money. I'm sorry if I have offend anyone in the past that is not what I was trying to do. I did not know that there were so many hard feeling towards me. Good Luck tl

Pete, I really don't understand why Tim's price of ASND predictions bother you so much. Especially, since they were so close to reality last week. Why do you feel responsible for what other people do with their money. We have free choice, I believe. At least Tim put his you know what on the line. It's easy to check his record. Also, I hope you are not comparing him to a baby sitting drug addict. On the APM thread, we have a little contest every week where we pick a stock ( short or long ) and we compare results during the week. To my way of thinking, if you object to Tim's predictions, you would also object to this harmless (IMHO) contest, because some gullible soul might take this as useful stock tips. Anyway, my basic point is that we should be as liberal as possible in allowing people to post whatever they want here as long as it pertains to ASND. BTW, I agree that there's no place for foul language and personal attacks. Also, just to toot my own horn a little bit. The final results from last week's contest haven't been posted yet, but I think I won by buying NSCP at the open on Monday and selling at the close on Thursday :-) That came to over 30% profit in four days. However, in "real life", I bought at 16 3/4 and sold some Feb 17 1/2 covered calls, so I only stand to make 10% in real live money. Come over some time and give us your best shot!
