Although I don't hold the same view re: ASTN as the good Dr. Seuss, he did provide me with a much-needed laugh this morning with his verse. Bravo, Dr.!

Hey Suess - stick to bad poetry. This is a real company, and it would depend on the circumstances whether I would sell or not. Let's say it was because of a $40 per share buyout? Should I sell then. I think you short too much -- maybe you should actually "think" before you short. By the way, the real reason I posted -- this is an example of why I think you shorts are missing the boat completely on this: "William W. Uchimoto, Speaker at the 58th National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems William W. Uchimoto, ATG™'s Executive Vice President and General Counsel, recently spoke at the annual conference of the National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS). Over 400 employee retirement and pension fund trustees and managers representing over $1 trillion in portfolio assets attended the three day conference. Mr. Uchimoto's speech outlined the new regulations of exchanges and alternative trading systems along with an explanation of the new technology and global competition which sparked the regulatory change. In his commentary, Mr. Uchimoto interwove the technology and benefits of ATG™'s volume weighted average price (VWAP®) trading system (VTS™) which received SEC approval on March 24 and also apprised the conference attendees of the creation of NextExchange. VTS™, because of its built in anonymity, ability to accommodate large block orders which can be traded at no market impact, and pricing at our benchmark VWAP®, understandably provoked much thought and interest among the conference attendees who oversee large retirement or pension investment funds. " Do the words "volume" and "liquidity" mean anything to you? MST

If my belief in the company was not as strong as it is, I would sell just so that I would not have to read all the crap on this board to get to something usefull.
