No annual shareholder meeting this year due to merger. But IR said that there will be a meeting for the approval of the merger. So either way it serves the purpose of meeting the executives. -Hitesh

>Mory very much deserves & got his $100 yes. My full respect and admiration for Mory. For the vision and the relentless execution. I started becoming an ASND shareholder in August 1997, just before the storm. My first purchase at $49 dwindled all the way down to $22. Thanks to this thread, and especially Gary Korn that provided at the time illuminated guidance throughout the worst months I did not only NOT sell, but I kept buying and trading. Gary helped me understand that there was nothing inherently wrong with Ascend. The stock was just an easy prey of shorts due to a lack of proper PR work. When Ashby went on board the gotcha got fixed and the stock started to fly. Last night I went out of ASND in a profit taking move. It was that very first batch I bought almost 2 years ago at $49 that went at 99 bucks. Superb move IMO. Times are probably very different in this fast-changing world, and ASND/LU is no longer on my priority list, not for the short term at least. I still like the company very much and I would welcome an opportunity to get back, although a conversation with a C$CO senior engineer made me aware that ASND best people are leaving. This may signal that the stock has, at this present levels, seen its full potential and that the probability of further gains may be more modest. Because I believe the market is necessarily becoming very selective due to valuation factors there are other companies (industries?) that give better potential. Anyway I 'll be around on the thread as it's the best way to stay abreast.
