No, Wall Street is not paying attention to things like that. Not that I disagree that there are quality problems or that they should care - just that this is the reason why the price has dropped. If you want to find out what investors think is going on, I would recommend reading the NASDAQ news page. It is free and easy to use (when viewed with a browser that supports frames). <A HREF="http://www1.nasdaq.com/scripts/quote.dll?symbol=ASND">http://www1.nasdaq.com/scripts/quote.dll?symbol=ASND</A>&range=6&mode=News&ver=3 You'll get much better speculation that you will typically find here. For an example of how little the real world has to do with Wall Street, here is an excerpt from a news story on another company: Consider what happened to Compaq Computer Corp. last Thursday. The PC maker reported a 54% surge in third-quarter profit, which surpassed Wall Street's forecasts, and it declared the first cash dividend in its 14-year history. Yet Compaq's stock plummeted 9%, and then lost an additional $3.75 a share, to $69.50, on Friday. Copyright Los Angeles Times STOCK SPOTLIGHT / JAMES F.
