How's the business? Is the stock a good value at THIS price?

Currently, Corel seems to be severely undervalued. Here's a company
with over tens of different products, some of which are for large
markets (such as WP and video games), but valued at about the same
price as "brother-can-you-spare-50-mill" Borland, or less than
half of "how-do-you-spell-niche-market" Pure Atria; both companies
with 1/4 the revenues of Corel.

Want more data? Let's look at a random sample of SI profiles:

Company Corel Market Cap Corel 4Q revenues Ratio
as % of company's as % of company's

Symantec ~ 40 % 100 % 0.4
Sybase ~ 35 % 45 % 0.8
Spectrum Holobyte ~ 160 % 365 % 0.4
Spyglass ~ 300 % 3000 % 0.1
Stac ~ 210 % 1000 % 0.2
Documentum ~ 100 % 1000 % 0.1
Electronic Arts ~ 25 % 50 % 0.5
Microsoft ~ 0.3 % 4.5 % 0.07
Micrografx ~ 750 % 750 % 1.0
Microfocus ~ 150 % 460 % 0.3
Data Dimensions ~ 200 % 3000 % 0.06
Dataware Technologies ~ 1200 % 1200 % 1.0
Parametric Technology ~ 5 % 80 % 0.07
PC Docs ~ 220 % 500 % 0.4

IMHO, this is a no brainer: mortgage the house and buy Corel!
