Well, the day high today will be the day low next Monday.

Shorted ASND near the day high. Any comrades? Hopefully, you're protected with calls? (If not, I hope you've set your stops wisely.)

Udrider, might be pretty lonely out there. Have to admire your courage though. Both for shorting, and for admitting it here.

Udrider, how's that AMZN short going? Ya know, ASND was a good short in 1997, but guess what it's 1998. I would love to hear your reasons (if any). Or are you just a hit-and-run poster to disappear next week when ASND goes up another 2-4 points. djane

Well udrider, You got what I would have guessed you have got here. You are a brave soul. I for one commend you.. Nonetheless, let me say this. If (big IF) ASND misses, by even the slightest margin, wall street is going to not take it well and this pup could tank. However, Mory and gang know this and know they can't afford to miss. So, my guess is (as I've heard repeated here multiple times) ASND's quarter is in the bag. Hitting their numbers also won't be enough I suspect however and again you _could_ be in the money. ASND will need to beat by a couple of pennies to hold onto this bull move...and I think the analysts believe that ASND is indeed going to post a strong quarter. You may want to cover your position a bit. JMO Gary (still not Korn)
