Au contraire, it sounds positive to me. Here's part of what the article said specifically about VIGN stock: Instead of trying to figure out the best software products themselves, investors can look at the products that the leading companies are buying. "It's a very, very good indicator of quality," said Storm Boswick, a portfolio manager for J&W Seligman. "It shows the market understands the product, that these are the companies that G.E. and others are willing to go into battle with." For instance, the fact that Merrill Lynch chose to buy its customer personalization software from Vignette is evidence that it is a leader in that category, analysts said. According to Stephen Sigmon, an analyst with Dain Rauscher Wessels, Vignette is on track to achieve "one-stop shop" status, the ability to furnish most software needs to customers, through its V/5 series, which is being rolled out slowly, and the array of applications that the company has either developed on its own or added through acquisitions. "All the key metrics -- market share, customer acquisition growth, revenue growth -- are going in the right direction," he said. The stock closed on Friday at $56.3125; Mr. Sigmon has a 12-month price target of $100. PB
