Right on! Let's forget about improving the Corel bottom line.
Forget about changing product names.
Forget about cutting cost, too.
And forget about better marketing, focussing or other crap.
Forget it! It's not going to fly (unless, IDEA, Microsoft invests
its standard 'keep-the-FTC-away' investment of $125M).
No. The only thing that's going to save the Corel shareholder
is some heavy-duty yummy stock manipulation. Some seriously
misleading stuff that's going to allow us all to reduce our
holdings to more reasonable levels (zero) at a reasonable
price (US$ 5 5/8, anyone?).
So there. Now, if Corel is going to tell (new! better!) lies then
we might as well suggest something, otherwise things might
go wrong once again. My idea: try one or more (better all?) of
the following (COREL MANAGEMENT, ARE YOU LISTENING):
1. Corel announces an ambitious stock buyback plan right now
2. Cowpland files for insider buying (ok, never mind)
3. Corel announces a takeover by Sun for US$9.50 (They can tell
Sun later. Hopefully nobody is owning Sun shares here?)
4. Corel proudly that announces George Soros invests $500 million!
5. Corel fires its CFO. Gross understatements of profit
and 'material underrepresentation' of revenues were found.
6. Corel admits that, well, this time they tried Excel to produce
their quarterly figures and it just doesn't add up.
If this fails, well, then...
forget it?
