Then everyone gets disappointed when numbers only meet stated expectations. I have seen stock pounded more for not meeting whisper numbers than for simply not meeting qtr estimates.

My prediction ==> .27 cents They could most likely post .28-.29, but will hold the rest back for Q2. Two cents over the streets consensus is in-line with beating the street by a decent margin and is what ASND wants to do. Remember, Ashby wants to keep the momentum going and wants to avoid at all costs last years debacle we are all now too well aware of. ASND will continue to, in my opinion, slightly beat the street's estimates so that they slowly win back Wall Street. I believe Ashby has what it takes and fully understands this. Eric
