WEBT does look good. SCKT looks rough on the chart but is getting close to a nice tight stop for those gamblers out there. I may take a swipe.

Now, with XML, a computer understands whether a number is a price or a quantity, or if a word is a name or an address. That seemingly simple distinction is extremely important in making the systems of different companies talk to each other, and that's where webMethods comes in.
