gary i noticed a significant sell-off of asnd after your negative post. i believe as a god you have a higher responsibility to check with the wife before posting an opinion. Gary says: I am the BOSS of this house and I have my wife's PERMISSION to say so!! Jan ( Don't get made and please don't get even) :o)

<<i agree with you on your 35 price for friday,>> blankmind, I believe that ASND will finish on Friday at 35+/-. The only other alternatives would be 30 or 40. 30 would be to much to take, and 40 would be to much of a shock. This looks like a great Opportunity to purchase QQADG's. Joe

i agree with you on your 35 price for friday, although i am late to your bandwagon by about 2 weeks. blankmind, Late, early, on-time, who cares? Let's hope the MMs join the bandwagon too. Further on ASND's non-response to my call. How about this one: I'm going to write some puts on SCI (a JBIL equivalent, only much bigger, I believe their revenue is about the same as ASND). Before deciding on the puts (which will wait until tomorrow), I called SCI to determine whether they are likely to meet consensus estimates. I was routed to Ron Siebold, the CFO (Ashby equivalent), who was delighted to take the call. He advised that the CEO had made a few public addresses lately at which he had said that SCI was "quite comfortable with the consensus estimate." I.e., it should be fine. Anyway, my point is that this is a big difference from the frosty reception I got at ASND (where I have a very big stake). I frankly don't know how much I'm driven to hold a stock where it is impossible, for me at least, to get through to a financial person. Gary Korn
