Gary, I understand you took a position in ASND sometime in January, correct? I was away for most of that month, so I'm not sure. I'm just wondering if you are still holding (takeover play, was it?), and if so what your target is. Style Pts.

>>Duncan, The comment Style made was that ASND would outperform CSCO in 1998. That was your response to this precedent post: To: +Style Pts (12441 ) From: +Duncan Idaho Friday, Feb 13 1998 12:08PM EST Reply # of 12605 >>Sty Pit: Refresh my memory. I want to know by how much a margin and/or what numbers, and within what timeframe, I said this. Provide the link, as well. I do expect you not to keep me waiting long -- make haste, boy! DI: Go back to October 1997 forward on this thread and you'll find your various predictions. I'm not surprised that you don't remember, since you appeared besotted much of the time. exchange2000.com ______________________________________________________________________ Well, since both you and Sty Pit asked for it here it is straight from the horse's arse: Sty Pit: "I'm confident that I would make a far greater return over the next 3 months by selling CSCO shares for an incredible 2 year return around 80, and picking up ASND around 35 for a ride back to 50 in a few months, before I sell it too. This is why I have been accumulating so many shares in ASND over the past month. Return potential." exchange2000.com That three month prediction was posted on October 23, 1997. Just where were Cisco and ASND on January 23, 1997? And where are they today?: Cisco up @25% ASND zilch return after a precipitous decline So much for his predictions about return potential. I had refrained from bringing this up during the past month but I felt a little reality was in order concerning his continuing attribution to himself as some kind of investment oracle. There's more if you want to push it. Otherwise, case closed.
