Steve, what's your opinion of Seibel Systems (SEBL)?
They've had one heck of a run for the last 2 years and so far appear to be on track for another 6 months or more of similar returns.
The company continues to make great acquisitions, and strategic deals with companies like IBM, Ariba,Broadvision, Intraware and others.
At current valuation levels (13.5B) it's not cheap, but in this market, it doesn't seem that unreasonable given the market caps of other companies in the internet space with much weaker fundamentals.
My basic question is:
For someone with moderate risk tolerance (25% downside is ok) and a 6 month time horizon (longer if it drops significantly) , would you put $8000 on SEBL?

If not, can you recommend your top 4 favorites that fall into this category?

PS. I currently hold AOL (since $60 split adj) and realize that your opinions are your own and wouldn't buy any company without doing my own DD. But your opinion is valuable.

Thanks in advance.
Jose Matos.
