Hello ALL,
I understand how painful Mr. Maher and others (included me) when seeing Corel stock goes South every day. I bought Corel options twice (and lost), I used my margin account to buy Corel shares (margin call twice) but I still keep my Corel shares. I tried to figure out how this company doing so badly last year or so and believed that the company spent too much money on advertising, promoting etc... When I've heard Corel now is in maintainance mode (this is good news to me). This Friday, I added 1000 shares more to my portfolio at $Can 8.50. But I forgot this is the THIRD FRIDAY of the month when Options are executed. Big (even small) investors can easily control the stock price when the trading volume is so low (~70,000 on TSE). I don't believe this stock can drop more than 20% from 8.50 which I can afford. Anyway, I think this is a company which has many good products, fast response to the market requirements e.g., when the property menu introduced in Draw 7, users welcomed this idea then you will get it in WP 8. Remember that only 3 months after acquired WP from Novel, the WP 7 was born.
So the bottom line is "Don't worry be happy". Be patient and waiting for stock price goes up. I will add more shares to my portfolio if the stock goes down further.
Long on Corel.
Dinh
