Thanks Michelle,

I always put in for a Morgan Stanley and a few others, deal.. My broker couldn't get this one. So if it is A rated by RedHerring.Com, and I like the general sound, I will try to play "the greater fool" game for a few minutes in the after market.

Thanks for the heads up on their competition, which I wasn't aware of.

SAP are currently rolling out their own B-to-B procurement system aimed squarely at this market. I don't imagine Oracle will be far behind....

>I don't believe these people are actually shorting this stock, btw.

As far as I recall they had revenues of just over 8 million dollars in 1998. They now have a market cap of somewhere in the region of 3 billion dollars. Perhaps that goes some way to explaining it!
