Whats the big April deal. They missed an earnings projection like so many other tech companies in the current environment. I would like to see a price of 8 for a P/E of about 10. April oversold!!!!!!!!

Miss earnings by 25% and loss almost 50% of market value. I like it!!!! I love it!!! I want it at 8!!! Please sell yours tommorrow!!

From what I read informix is a player in the relational data base management market. Buying illustra was a smart move for the future. They integrated the company in lightning speed and these folks have beaten, broken big samuris blade on a number of major contracts. They maybe put too much emphasis on ODMS and not enough on its NT business. So, they made a mistake short term but what about the long term. If you believe in super server which is oracle 8 incarnate now then they have a leg up and it looks like they are putting together the marketing. It will be interesting to see if oracle can nullify them, super glue the sword back together. I don't get that impression from their advancing market penetration.

If I WSJ advertise it will be to promote mass selling!!!!

Buy the future today at discount prices!!!
