>>Analyst will come down hard on this stock and drive it to the low 20's or possibly if it gets involved in a tech meltdown at the same time the "teens". There will be no buyers in this atmosphere only sellers. They will get your shares cheap ala ASND and let it run up from the lows.<< So you think that ASND was oversold intentionally at the bottom? I'm not that familiar with the history.... >>If you are in now you must decide weather to hold on while it goes lower "dead Money" and create additional loss on paper; or to sell and buy at lower prices for the run up. If you are on the sidelines it is much to soon to buy now.<< I would think that the owner of stock or the person on the sideline would have the same choice. But for owner, you say he can make a choice, but for the sideliner to wait for lower prices?? Isn't this somewhat contradictory? By the way, did you read the First Call Report about 10 posts up? What do you think? joe

good to see solid analysis. nice to see the comparison to asnd, but asnd purchased a growth product in cscc, whereas coms purchased a usrx and a mature product with competing standard. clearly usrx has burdened coms, whereas cscc saved asnd. the only similarity is the stockprice decline, but that is not much to hang ones hat on.

examining the volume, it would appear to be a bear trap. with low volume bringing the price down, examining the past with how much volume was required to knock off a point. the big boys are not selling, but allowing little investors to sell and shorts to move in. then when the shorts least expect it, the big boys move in and start buying once they feel comfortable with the quarter, and the shorts hep push up the price and then sell in a more orderly fashion if they wish towards the 35 range. "dead money," to early to tell until we see the short interest and if we get any warnings. i hope you post if we head back to the thirties before the low 20's or teens.
