Boys, boys, put down your weapons please......
We all know about the history of NOVL's past 2-3+ years (some of us better than others), some of us more recently through reading of articles, others by the experience of owning the stock and going through NOVL's unfortunate bearish decline. This is history, and I don't think the BOD wants to repeat its past.
The point here should be are we paying attention to what the company, their CEO, new Java hires, etc are doing lately?? Things are cooking again under the Java-hood of this networking animal, that some of you just aren't paying attention to. A strong unfolding of marketing, advertisements, additional product surprises and enhancements, and alliances are probably going to occur between now and Sept. 1998. We all know NW5 is coming, NDS for NT, ZenWorks is growing, etc. My point is, that IMHO the BOD is seeing in Schmidt what they never saw in their earlier predecessors (CEOs). This guy is doing it, for God's sake. And the street is just realizing this during a very weak and correcting tech sector. Acknowledge this process and get on with the usual news links, stock trading action, etc.
Life's too short, and NOVL has a lot of life still left in it...;)
