Well,here we go with another blockbuster week in the networking sector. Supercomm is in full swing and rumors of buyouts are rampant. What will unfold at the Tuesday morning announcement at Nortel? My take on ASND is that a buyout is imminent as I have said for quite some time.Mory must be really playing hardball in the board room and getting all of the shareholders full value.My guess is 75 dollars per share by August.Have a great week all and see you at the cashiers office.Oh,one more thing O.T.,Real Quiet was upset by Victory Gallup and guess where Victory Gallup was bred? Give up................ Canada!!!!

Let me be clear; I don't know if this information is true but if it is it will take the networking group down. I don't think it should but IMO it will. Do I like that? No.

For those that may be interested, I have ran an extensive (4,400 company) analysis of performance measures which correlate most highly with shareholder value. Accounting earnings have been the worst measure for market value of all popular measures available. For instance, CSCO's EPS exhibited a .39% correlation to market value. Contrary to popular belief, earnings (as well as analyst recommendations) are a horrendous proxy for shareholder value and market performance. From a historical perspective, the market simply does not follow earnings. ASND's EPS number (fully diluted) exhibited a 9.67% correlation to market value, while Sales Per Share exhibited a 89.94% correlation for the 12 quarters ending 12/97.
