James, Thanks for that witty reply. Your maturity and deep understanding of ASND really came through. I have learned from your post to be positive and make up stories of fabulous events unfolding to help my long positions. Here's one I just made up. Pls let me know what you think. "I just spoke to a close friend of mine at ASND. He's a senior VP< but I can't tell you his name for obvious reasons. He was in several meetings with potential buyers of the company. In fact he had CSCO in one room, LU in another and ERICY in a third room !! There is a price war going on and he tells me that LU has already offered $90 share. ERICY however stated that they will match the offer. The CSCO guys are just hanging around to see who buys ASND so that they can leave CSCO to join the new company. The new company will be called LuScend or ErricScend, depending who will win the bidding war. You all better buy ASND stock now !!!" What do you think James ? Sounds credible enough ? Cheers, Peppe
