Gary, Looking at your decisions/actions, on a fresh Monday and from a distance, I see silver linings for both your portfolio and Asnd's share price. How else can you kill two birds with one stone. Fact 1. -- It was most likely not an un-substantiated rumor of LU/Asnd merger offer during the Dec 5, 97 period. The offer/negotiation was not materialized due to reasons we are all quite familiar with. Fact 2. -- Asnd's strength has materially improved in the past quarter and we believe that it is trading on it's own F/A merits right now. Fact 3. -- A very important one. Thread, the percieved/real synergistic value of LU/Asnd is still not questioned; however, the logistic blocks standing in the way of this merger/buyout are diminishing.. LU's share price was around/less than $80 on December 5 97. LU's is currently traded close to $125.... Therefore, if you are a long with a vision, you want to position your self. If yor are SHORTING this stock; no offense intended, vision/long-range planning is generally not required here. Well, Gary, there are 29 more days to go.... I am counting, Jan
