HELP!!! I need some help from more knowledgable people on the thread (there are people on the thread, yes?). I have never owned BLUE, but it looks potentially interesting. What little I know is: -- talked up as a potentially HUGE stock by Red Herring (or was it UPSIDE?) -- IPO last year -- Pretty much straight down since -- product was seen as very capable but VERY PRICEY So here are the questions: -- how is BLUE faring in the competitive software market? -- is is getting its price, or discounting heavily? -- is the product marvelous, or something less? -- what competition is it meeting? -- will it just run through its cash and then just die? -- what annual sales level is required to reach breakeven at current burn rate? -- how many months does it have at current burn rate? -- is it a candidate for acquisition? -- potential acquirers would be....? -- should I view this as just a tool for making the founders and VC people rich, or something else? That's a lot to want to know, but whatever you have to contribute would be appreciated. Namaste! Jim
