Hi everyone, I got this message from other chat sites. Check it out.. from nickkname Tom Jackson, you seem to be very eager to drive the price of Corel down. You are a jack...You keep reiterating the same news over and over and over and over and over. Don't you have anything else that you are riding on. It is very clear you are shorting CORL and only based on the this court case. Let me tell you. Based on the precedent, this case will go to Ottawa, where he will win most likely. The OSC has to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt that Cowpland was the only one benefitting from insider information. This is an impossibility because other investors and analysts were selling big time prior to and during the same time Cowpland sold off. Others sold based on forecasts and analysis of their own. The OSC has an uphill battle. Next, you fail to realize that Cowpland's court case, which won't be held until the FALL, has nothing to do with Corel the corporation. Why are you so superficial in your thinking? Corel is a public company and doesn't need Cowpland to continue to sell WordPerfect, CorelDraw, Corel Linux, Corel Ventura, Corel Publisher, Netwinder Linux Servers. This trial has nothing to do with the stock. You fail to realize that the Board could replace Cowpland with another CEO who will take this company to the highest of heights. You also fail to realize that CORL at its current price is a prime target for a TAKEOVER by a number of companies from VA Linux, IBM, Redhat to Nortel Networks. In the mean time between now and the end of the year, Corel is cashing in Big time with its sales of Linux. Its revenue will continue to increase with the release of Corel Office in Feb. Then there is Corel Draw for linux. By the end of the year, Corel will be the biggest software applications company for linux and it will have an operating system that will and already does run seemlessy with windows. I will bet your boots you know nothing about linux and especially Corel linux. I'll bet you haven't even installed it or can get around it. People who have used Corel Linux and Wordperfect are hitched and instant converts. This is the most innovative product in the industry and stole the show at COMDEX. Corel has been selling linux servers since early 1997. They made Wordperfect for unix/linux as early as late 1997. They are not a newcomer in this game. They are among the pioneers. Get it straight. Whoever wrote that Cowpland is a crook is a fool. So Cowpland is a crook and Gates is a saint, right? Is this how you think? Fool. Cowpland has always hyped up his products because this is the same marketing tactic that Bill Gates and Microsoft has used to dupe fools into buying the crappiest product ever made: Windows 95. This crappiness (just like this pathetically designed slow message board managed by NT servers) is what has bred the outlash and the linux revolution. Naivete breeds stupid investment decisions.
