Not sure what this might mean. Perhaps they were somehow involved in the ASND/SRA deal from an investment advisor/banker perspective, and therefore couldn't provide research because of conflict of interest. But somehow I doubt this, because I don't think MSDW provides investment banking services. I may be wrong on this point, however. Gary

It's hard to know how to interpret this, as MS previously provided regular research on the stock, having originally (I think) taken the company public. MS still covers LU, and published a favorable report on September 18 with a price target of $120. Any thoughts? They may be involve in the sra buyout.
