CAMZ has always had a pretty diverse customer base. They took a bit of a 9/11 hit in the third quarter but their future guidance has remained positive. I like the company and the space; our energy issues are not going to go away. If you are using current earnings as a criteria, it is obviously a bit pricey. I don't currently own the stock but it hits my radar screen anytime it falls below $20. I have successfully traded it several times. If you can pick it up in the $18-20 range, it should fit in well with your 50% goals.

While the information is dated, their audited financials for the year 200 note that they did not have any customers that contributed more than 10% of their revenues. Additionally, they did not list Enron as a customer:

SunGard to acquire Caminus for $159 million

NEW YORK, Jan 21 (Reuters) - SunGard Data Systems Inc. <SDS.N>, a provider of financial services, on Tuesday said it will acquire all the shares of energy-trading software company Caminus Corp. <CAMZ.O> for about $159 million in cash.

SunGard said it would pay $9 per share of Caminus, nearly 4 times the software company's closing price of $2.50 on the Nasdaq Friday. It said the deal would help it expand its presence in energy-trading markets.

Wayne, Pennsylvania-based SunGard said stockholders holding 26 percent of Caminus' outstanding shares have agreed to tender the shares, and it expects the deal to close during the first quarter of 2003.
