i agree ifmx is likely to trade is a fairly narrow range until this is resolved. ifmx is in a 'no win' situation AGAIN. - if they give in to ibm, they pay licensing fees. - if they don't give in, they spend resources on a defense. - and if they lose a court case . . . look out below. - if they win, the stock hopefully gets back to where it should be. under all scenarios, their operating costs go up at a time when they can ill afford it, and they are AGAIN being publicized as a company that has broken the law. this is probably EXACTLY why ibm chose to sue them versus some other company. while i think the stock has the potential to double (30) within 18-24 months, this type of event can turn that belief into fairy dust. we'll have to wait for some time and see how this plays out (unfortunately). johnlea
