Charlie, Nice website, love the "animated eye." Neat approach. I'll visit it again.
The problem with Dr. Cowpland is that he's exhibiting a trait that "refuses to learn." He seems to repeat the same mistakes without learning. Sure he changes direction, but changing directions is always easy if you don't know where your headed.
If Dr. Cowpland does not come up with a complete overhaul of his marketing infrastructure, the next effort with focusing only on the "corporate market" using "old fashioned" techniques will propel this stock six feet under. Corel will have to be a little more creative to make any sizable dent in Microsofts stranglehold in the business place.
I'm all for cost control, long term planning, and preparing for future technologies, but when Corel can't move a quality product like Suite 8, and does not project to sell it in any great quantity anytime soon, that is some cause for alarm. I hope this painful drop in the stock price today may drive this lesson home to Dr. Cowpland.
Up, Up, & Away!
