Welcome Tiffany! I look forward to your posts!

Well, I just got home and plowed through today's posts (very busy day)

Three assaults on $39 in the last 40 minutes, the last near the end. $39 should fall early tomorrow, IMO.

I see noone posted the comments from Cowen and J.P. Morgan, so I will synopsize later on the News Only thread.

The real short version is this:

Cowen: PSINET contract is believed to deploy the new voice features announced this week - valuation at $15M+ - part in Q1, rest by the end of Q3 - business should continue to accelerate in 2H98, Europe gearing for deregulation, Latin America beginning to deploy ATM.
Short term target $37 (Ha!)

J.P. Morgan: Est PSINET contract $15M-$20M recognised in Q2 and Q3.
European deployment is a key positive as it shows 56K SW issues are behind us - just the beginning of strong demand in Europe - looking for ASND to report $0.26, driven by strong ATM and F/R sales - 12 month target $55

More later.

<< .I like the positive outlook this Thread expresses...so please post your outlook on WHEN you think good ol ASND will be @ 50...I really am bored with all the "40 range" talk...because MY common ASND shares are still @ a depressed price...my target price is 50...so give me your comments on when 50 is achievable for ASND.>>

OK Tiffany, I am always up for a WAG! I believe that in cyberspace, technology rules, and ASND has it. I had a dream recently that ASND would overtake CSCO at 62 on Jan. 22, 1999. Since 50 is approximately half-way to 62, and assuming a roughly linear rise, I project that ASND touches 50 on Sept. 1, 1998 at 2:15 PM EST. So, there you have it! :o)
