Short interest as of January 15th is less than 2 day's ave daily volume. I don't think a short cover is going to move this stock.

I've been reading the news for 2 years about APLX. Their Java solution is technically great, but close to meaningless in the CIS market. Their DSS stuff is awesome, but they seem to have tapped out the market. You might see 10-20% price improvement from today's levels but nothing more. Revenue dropped; earnings improved (in part) because they cut R&D by 10%. Not a killer story.

Any idea why next quarter's earnings estimate is 1 cent after they made 6 cents last quarter? Is the first quarter traditionally slow? Shouldn't the road back to good profitability be each quarter better than the next? By the way, the consensus (Zacks) is .33 for the FY 98, and Q1 is .01 and Q2 is .05, so that leaves .27 in Q3 and Q4 combined. If that happens the stock price should start some serious upward movement late this year. If they kept improving in Q1 and Q2 of '99, The earnings would be getting back near the ballpark figure of .67 per year in '95 or .77 per year in '96. Of course, that's a lot of "ifs". Regards
