I wonder if these funds that sold knew about the Las Vegas Interop next week:http://www.interop.com/index.html

Kenneth, it would seem impossible that IBD or any other publication could anything close to realtime info regarding what funds are doing on any particular stock. It wouldn't surprise me if this info were at least 1Q old. IBD must have published an "as of" date. Could you please post it. With the recent price increase in ASND, it seems quite impossible that funds were net sellers of ASND. As you short the stock? :) Gary

Interestingly IBD did not publish a date with their article. But they did promise to print another bomb on June 13th. I was puzzled by today's performance until I saw this post. We know from Gary Korn's posting of this type of data that the base information used by IBD could be no earlier than 3/31/98 and most likely is from 12/31/97. So I would have to question if this is good reporting. Sure makes for a reader interest gabber. I frankly will not renew IBD. It cost twice what the WSJ costs and half the time the damn thing does not get delivered! I did not get it for 2 weeks in April, because they changed over to a new system and could not let the driver know to restart my delivery that was never cancelled or to be put on hold. The Accumulation/Distribution indicator is the thing I use the most and my guest is I can get better data if I'd ever spent the time to fire up that Trade Station program I paid for and left in the box. (Pete I might need some guidance) Beside who needs a newspaper with this good SI group. You all find it and give me plenty to read. And it is customized to what I care about. So I may just cancel them all. Dennis
