Would the thread quit responding to Darren. He is an insipid banal marooon! Your time would be better spent listening to Jan, Pat, and myself when we were buying trading shares at 40 1/2 two weeks ago. I sold my trading shares at 44 1/8 last Wednesday and Jan sold hers today at 46 1/8. ( Congratulations Jan! ) ASND has many good days ahead. I am holding a huge long position. I will be a screaming buyer of ASND if it falls below 42, but I doubt I will get that opportunity. Darren, get with the program dude and quit rocking the boat! - Sure Thing -

What do you mean a stretch? A spread of 46 9/16 to 44 9/16? That's two points even using your new math skills... Yes, a spread of two points. This could mean: a) A good day trader made 1 point shorting. b) A great day trader made 2 points shorting. c) Darren made 3 points shorting. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.:) News posts are to suit your needs just as much as anything else. Both positive and negative news is posted here. And yes, news is usually just someones opinion. But made-up news is just not fair play, and just the typical shorts' scare tactics. Some contributors on this thread (in my view, the most valuable ones) spend a lot of time finding this news and posting for the benefit of all. We are each big enough to make up our own minds on what to do with it. Frankly, I'd trust a palm reader before I trusted a newspaper...they distort facts better than you do. But not better than you. Sorry again. Really. Cheap shot. Now what if we had all just accepted the gospel according to Darren? Many of us would have sold because "ASND has already stated a loss is due for the current quarter." Yes, Grassy Knoll again. You know they are still talking about that 35 years later.
