ASND would never ever accept .7 shares of LU. Will take much more based on my analysis of what LU can afford. Plus stock deals require higher premia. Will take $60 based on then current LU price at a minimum.

James, I appreicate your comments. We'll have to wait and see. As for your "predictions" about a 50 basis point cut or CPQ rebounding...those are easy predictions to make...Hell, I bought CPQ at 29 and change. They're way undervalued. That's not rocket science. Fed rate cut - everyone expects that to happen. As for LU ASND...I continue to think that this remains a strong possibility but in my estimation it is not a done deal. So, I continue to keep my ear to the track on this one. I'm still curious about your source. I can tell you one thing...LU will not go for a deal that is dilutive to earnings. Watch that. OG
