hi jan, forget about this other rumor going around and i do believe asnd will dip a bit more (-5 points or so) and then it should start making it's way back up to high 40's. and then you and i will have lu shares!

Hi Jan, I agree with you completely. I'm just trying to give the thread an alternative perspective. It seems just about everyone here is totally convinced that LU will buy ASND. I am not. There seem to be too many issues with product overlap and past history to simply accept this merger as a given. However, that said, I continue to buy long shares (bought more near the close on Friday) because I think a deal is still possible at some point (LU or other), and I think the next two quarters (at least) will be good, at least meeting expectations. Good luck. gary
