I am holding on for the long term. Expect to hear of a few sales successes between now and the summer. Short term gyrations can be scary but I am not great at market timing.

Someone mentioned margins in an earlier post.

With a product like JEODE, the margins are great. Instead of selling lots of boxes of cheap product with large costs associated with each box, each deal can be in many hundreds of thousands or millions of $$. Only one copy of the software is transferred to the customer, probably electronically and and there's no packaging, distribution/reseller margins and other costs of sale.

Depending on how careful accountants like to be about reserving something for support contingencies, margins for OEM software licenses can exceed 95%, and are commonly around 85% to 90%
