That may explain the recent success of the highly profitable FICON 1-2 shuffle post-9/11: 1) scale into Emulex and McDATA; and, 2) take some profits and scale out from Emulex and McDATA at the 100%, 200%, 300% levels and then scale into Inrange, which lagged the two stock appreciation leaders with a market cap well below $1B before it posted two 30+% days in a row before settling down for a 15% kicker on the third day.<g>

IBM's MIPS shipments have gone from the initial 100% in 4Q00 to 40+% in each of the last 3 quarters so the pent-up demand for FICON is going to start showing up in the numbers of these FICON players in the next few quarters. As you know, FICON became GA from IBM on 9/28/2001.

More high-end atmospherics this time from BMC. Oracle news is a bit of a downer, though.

12:15AM BMC Software (BMC) 16.92 +0.57 (+3.5%): Hearing from sources that co giving indications that revenues are ahead of plan and that BMC is likely to deliver upside on both license rev and EPS; good chance that co will raise forward guidance.
