Nancy --

Unbelievable manipulation of CHKPF ... I am a little upset with MSFT's taking the position they did. Its not so much the competition ... expected ... really its the choice of announcement -- Timing (CHKPF earnings release date) and Location (Tel Aviv -- CHKPF's backyard)!!! This showed, IMO, a complete lack of respect for their future 'potential partner'. A move that was certainly executed with due consideration to its ramifications. Is Billy Gates short CHKPF in a big way? One would think so!!!! (Can you tell I held past earnings <gggg>?)

Ray -- I did get out of ASND right around the time of your post to me yesterday ... thanks for the heads up ... we saw the same thing, a little Toppy at $44. I am looking to re-enter if we go under $40. I do not like how this market is reacting. When I see movement completely different than I expect in certain stock, I get very worried ... would be like Arizona beating Atlanta with Glavine pitching (this is my best analogy for what I see out there now).
