Mr. Luke,
Could very well be.
The deal is probably already in the bag and ASND share price will most likely reflect sentiment of large players.
If the company is indeed purchased, I will sorely miss trading this stock and it's options. Another good tech stock leaves the board... kind of like USR.
I believe LU will be whipped by Cisco regardless. Cisco is adjusting their strategy now and I suspect we will all be surprised by what develops.

If ASND refused ERICY's offer of 55, why would they sell to LU for 50?

i think the lu/asnd deal is as good as done and the price is 50 per share.

Tim,

Hi! That's not much of a premium. Heck, the stock would pretty much trade unchanged (well, up a point or two) after this announcement, given typical pre-finalization spreads.
