Well, I guess I just don't know a P & D when I see it. Your words, not mine, but if you want some help, I'm always happy to help anyone. PM me when you get time and I'll see what I can do. And you're right, we will see that this is a P & D soon. Dr. Seuss

Always keep your eye on ASTN's competitor ITG and you will see this is a sub-sector wide weakness. ITG announced that very significant deal with Bloomberg yet it's trading back where it was before that deal was announced making it a bargin buy in the $30's considering it's already now where ASTN want's to be a few years from now. Basically, you should always leave ITG on the screen under ASTN. This way if they both weaken together, you can take comfort in knowing it's not a problem with our ASTN speculation, rather that money is temporarially flowing out of these stocks. There may also be a mistaken perception that as the online trading market gets more crowded, stocks like ASTN and ITG should suffer along with the E-Trades and MyTracks of the World. We all know those are apples and oranges, and should keep our wits about it all.
