Hello All.
Now that I can apparently post here, I would like to introduce myself
as another COS holder. I have been excited recently about the
prospects for Corel, but then, I had the same excitement
when I bought in last quarter. (BTW, I am an investing newbie.)
Earnings weren't there last quarter to the extent I had expected. These
days, I understand that one of the differences going into future quarters
is a planned lower advertising budget - but then I hear of a
$20 million budget for WP8. I'm not criticizing this as unnecessary
by any means, but the point is, presumably, lower advertising will not
play much of a factor in improving income.
Then what will be different this time around (WP7 vs. WP8)?
Slightly higher revenue? Lower R&D? (I apologize to anyone who feels they've
answered this already!)
Corel has interested me because it is strategically a primary
alternative to Microsoft. IMO, the market should want such an
alternative, and should value it well. Perhaps this has not
played out yet.
Thanks to everyone who keeps this forum informed and interesting.
Sean
