I too have been a GEAC follower for quite some years, having gotten in at $2.55 and $3.55. It has been a great ride. Unfortunately I took some profits along the way - the last only a week ago (bad timing) - but I still have a good holding. Had I listened to Warren Buffet and held I'd be retired somewhere now.

Every indication is that this is a well managed company with a disciplined approach to expanding through careful acquisition.

I get scared when I see companies expanding into other non-related businesses. GEAC seems to have always resisted that.

Which comes to the latest news... apparently GEAC is to make a buyback bid for up to 5% of its outstanding shares at market over the next year.

This suggests to me that they are cash rich and possibly bargains are a little harder to find. Does this suggest that they may soon considering a dividend or perhaps a special dividend to distribute some of the cash? Any opinions?

I'm going to hold my remaining shares for sure until I see something I don't like.
