I'm not Gary, but most of the networkers are off today, so it's more of a sector-wide thing. Plus, I think every short-term investor has moved his/her money to the Internet stocks to make 6 points a day.

If you're holding ASND because of its "underlying aspects," then you're a long-term investor and shouldn't be concerned with day-to-day movements. At most, month-to-month.

Your questions are more appropriate for momentum investing (which ignores the company's fundamentals) or day/position trading (which ignores almost everything).

What gives? ASND is off today with all the positivity. I am dumbfounded and ready to bail. The underlying aspects of this company are astounding and its price is off. I know all the aspects of this firm are positive and I ask, can you tell us why the stock has come under pressure?Thanks

Just my opinion not advise but I would not be bailing yet.

Read the News Only section. Our big friend CSCO told the SEC they may not make it. Now that could hurt a sector.

The other side of that coin is when the street figures out ASND can make it it will be rewarded. Ala, CPQ vs. DELL.

Just IMHO, Dennis
