a normal pink with news of an aquisition would jump in price and volume. i think everyone is so stuck on the $350m (which no one is sure if it still is $350m or maybe more) that they can't see this as positive news. in comparison it may be a drop in the bucket, but it's in the bucket.
IMO DB should come out with some good pr the way the market is going right now people selling and they need to put money into something. If QASP got good news and it gets out this could go up like a rocket
