Plenty of move left in APLX......."Applix plays catch-up In the midst of a feverish movement in anything Linux, shares of Applix (APLX: news, msgs) have spent recent sessions on the sidelines ... that is, until now. What a difference a day makes. After reaping an initial pop in September, shareholders have been hitting the APLX boards to vent their frustration while other Linux-related companies like Red Hat and Unify kept on flying. However, Friday's tone was decidedly different as APLX soared 30 percent to close at 20 7/8. Plunkett, on CBS MarketWatch, felt he got his just due: "I don't get it -- while every other Linux-type company has hit full stride, APLX just hasn't lived up to its potential -- finally, it takes a Thanksgiving hangover for people to realize just how undervalued this stock is - to 30 and beyond.!" Sentiment remained the same over on Yahoo where XMasboy enjoyed the healing powers of making money: "This is the only thing that could get rid of this nasty hangover I own ... I am the happiest guy in Hartford." And GetReal added: "Volcano! I think she's going to blow!" Volcano, indeed, according to FOTI on Raging Bull: "Linux companies are being bought across the board. Applix Linux platform is powering 3Com Palm Computing and Apple iMacs among other 'Internet appliances.' Look for bigger and better things to come from Applix. This one is a winner." C'mon folks, Applix hasn't exactly disappointed. Unless, of course, you bought during the peak of September's hype. Even so, Friday's move more than made up for the stocks recent lackluster performance. Shawn Langlois is community editor for CBS MarketWatch."
