Hi Trooper, I used to work at Sterling Software and their CEO is one of the most impressive CEO's around. This guy is a winner, plain and simple. I am sure he is ahead of the game. Although I am not a shareholder and haven't been since I worked there (almost 4 years ago), I have no doubt that the company will continue to succeed. I have never seen a CEO focus on the bottom line like this one does. A division not making its numbers is the "kiss of death" for the division's President. I have seen him fire a division President even when the division is doing well if he felt that the right formula wasn't in place. He doesn't hesitate to change things around, or acquire companies or products that they need.

They have an excellent business model where corporate acts like a holding company and all the divisions act like separate companies. Very successful the way it works.

I hope this gives some insight to all you longs. I don't hold any stock because I primarily invest in the Internuts.
