To ALL: Some my thoughts about ASND. In late November, when ASND traded at $24-$25, someone posted that ASND revenue growth quarter to quarter is projected at "high single digit or low teens", I remarked that this is a very good growth rate and recommended to buy ASND. I found the earning report of ASND regarding the earning per share of $0.26 to be good, even better than I expected ($0.25). However, the revenue growth rate was only 4.8% which is much lower that "high single digit or low teens". Taking into account the fact that the earnings numbers are easily manipulated, in contrast to the revenue number, I have a (little) suspition that the earning number may have been "managed". William
