People think that a certain MAX product is flaky, and this drives their expectations of that product's success down. The public then thinks that b/c of Ascends TOTAL investment in this product is high, and this product is unsuccessful, they expect the company to do bad. The demand for Ascend's stock will fall, b/c people EXPECT the company to do bad. Falling demand results in the falling of the stocks's price. The above example is hypothetical...although it is possible for that to happen :) Rob Icanect System Administration ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg09824.html">Re: (ASCEND) Uh-Oh ..... ;)</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Clifford Donley <cliff@donleys.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg09817.html">Re: (ASCEND) Uh-Oh ..... ;)</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Alex P <alex@stomp.gomax.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09819.html">(ASCEND) FS: P50 - best offer</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09817.html">Re: (ASCEND) Uh-Oh ..... ;)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09817.html">Re: (ASCEND) Uh-Oh ..... ;)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09824.html">Re: (ASCEND) Uh-Oh ..... ;)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail8.html#09818"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd207.html#09818"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
