Heard COMS is going to buy NN. Sounds like a nice match for COMS in order to compete in the high end with CSCO and ASND. Is ASND a possible target for COMS? Maybe not, too much overlap in the RAS part, right?

blankmind, The open interest for the ASND March 40 strike is approaching that of the 35 strike. So perhaps a move to 40 has support if the overall market cooperates (a big if). If we can get to 37 and change, I would play this the same way I did last time: lighten up. If we go to 40, that's great. If we retrace to 35, then at least I took some up to 37.
