Denis, Thank you! I actually caught your message right before I left work a few nights back, so I was able to pull up a research report and review it on the way back. It does appear from the voice of the analyst that a turnaround is taking place. As with most firms with bullish analysts, however, the bullish notes I read came from one firm that has either participated as a market-maker, underwriter, or some other form that has benefited from a favorable relationship with UNFY. Ultimately, such conflicts of interest should be noted when reading these reports, as a precaution. With that said, UNFY appears to be performing well due to good expense management and increasing demand for its products. Technically, however (and they almost always never have a technical opinion), we appear to be in an environment that is more prone to taking profits. I would imagine that as we near Y2K, that propensity would tend to increase, potentially driving volatility levels higher going forward. The price has been flat for quite a while--almost 8 months. If there were indeed unprecedented improvements in the company's fundamentals, however, I would have expected to have those qualities reflected in the company's price via a new all-time high. For as long as it remains range-bound, however (and who knows how long that can be), I will likely remain just a curious observer. Let's see whether that recent downtrend breakout was a head fake or not (it's still not clear the 66% Speed/Resistance line). The signal it displays could be very significant going forward. Rainier
