<<<ASND's numbers were way better than 3Coms's and look how well 3Com did...>>>

FWIW, ADBE had a huge runup right before earnings two weeks ago (similar to Asnd's) only to have a dismal report of current and future conditions, yet the stock hardly retraced at all, and certainly didn't crash, as it should have; the shorts (me included) are still scratching their heads.

This market is not behaving "normally" by any means. I don't see how ASND could be hurt by such a good report by most accounts, when other stocks recently haven't been hurt by bad reports.

Consensus on this thread seems to be 45 as a high next week to a low of 35. I think the actual action will lie inbetween with a slight upside from the present (hope so, as I'm long).

Anyway, ASND's #s were WAY better than 3COMS, and look at how well 3COM did after reporting not-so-good #s.

You simply CANNOT compare the two. COMS had completely other issues they were dealing with (USRX, inventory, etc.).

Apples & Oranges.
