>>> if it starts a slow ascent. <<< Centura's ascent into software company heaven started the day that Umang Gupta torpedoed the Infospinner merger and Centura's promising new future, rather than allow a former employee to receive more shares of Centura than he owned himself. >>> Did you notice Del is posting on BORL thread now periodically. What do you think of it? << Please define "periodically". My recollection is that Del posted only four times more than a month ago, and that he hasn't even acknowledged any of the questions that have been posed to him since. As to what I thought about it, IMO it was a desperate (yet apparently successful) attempt to bolster the stock, which at the time of his posts was tumbling down rapidly. I also thought it was hilarious to see some of the regulars trampling over each other for the chance to "talk" to Del, applauding his entrance, and expressing their childish joy because Del was now posting -- as if he would be able to (or stupid enough) to share something with the thread that they would not have already heard at a conference, read in a press release, or found in an SEC filing. As for my personal opinion, I will (likely) short it again as soon as it reaches $11-$12, or the timing is right (whichever comes first). Why ? Because current sales/price ratio is almost 3. Book value is only $4-5. The company's revenue base remains stagnant in the $40-44M range. Shares already have and will be further dilluted in the near future. And the company is now spinning its wheels and wasting valuable time and resources going after Fore's lackluster market. I better go now. The troop will be camping on 4-5 feet of snow this weekend and I still have some shopping to do. See 'ya in a week or so (hopefully)...
