Informix (IFMX), up 134% this year so far, is the vehicle by which Rusty retires early and surveys Stephen Wright's seashell collection which, as you know, he keeps scattered on topless beaches all over the world.
CEO Robert Finocchio (Super Genius) left 3COM just to make Rusty money.
Cutting edge database technology. Just the type of company for your newsletter. Growth of the internet means a rising demand for storage of multimedia not to mention on-line transaction processing (OLTP). The future of database technology.
Definitely a George Gilder type stock.
(Just a cheap plug.)
Best wishes George.
