If a stock split were coming couldn't that account for them getting rid of some their shares? Boydude

Hi Tim, What are you basing the idea that IBM might buy ASND? I have owned ASND for awhile and have come across rumors of various suitors but nothing that panned out. Do you have anything more concrete? Are you figuring near future or longer term? What do you think ASND could do for IBM? Thanks-

insider sales of ASND (posted on the COMS thread) <html>http://www3.techstocks.com/~wsapi/investor/reply-6894463 </html> To: Harry V. Poloshjian (26217 ) From: Mang Cheng Friday, Dec 18 1998 2:50PM ET Reply # of 26240 Insiders selling asnd : "Who has networking's inside track? It doesn't look like insiders at Ascend Communications (ASND) are planning to sell their company to Lucent Technologies (LU) anytime soon, even though rumors of some kind of combination between the two companies are a staple of Wall Street chatter. Ascend's name keeps coming up whenever analysts opine that Lucent needs to make a big purchase of a major Web networking company in order to compete head-to-head with Cisco Systems. But nine Ascend insiders sold almost 500,000 shares in November -- including a 100,000-share sale by the company's CEO. That's a big increase from October, when insiders sold just 66,000 shares. No insider sold in August or September. It's unlikely, I think, that insiders would be heavy sellers if they were planning a deal that could get them a big acquisition premium on their holdings. moneycentral.msn.com Mang
