Mr. Frisky, what you just offered, as you will learn if you pay attention long and often enough, is the same tired and meaningless speech we've been hearing from sycophants on this thread for years. That's one of Cowpland's problems: sycophants who support his own delusionary thought process. The man has problems; the company has more; I don't share them. Shall I mail you my trading confirmations Frisky? I don't think you'll find the 35% I pulled in on COSFF with one trade over a few days supports your blind assumptions about the poor judgement of critics. Unlike you, I'm focused on the company, not those who disagree with me. Cowpland isn't fit to manage the night cleaning crew at the local McDonalds and the last thing this company and its shareholders need are more apologists. Get rid of that clown and the stock stands a chance; otherwise it's worthless.

>> instead of constantly blaming others for their own poor judgement<< Corel's shares dropped 9 per cent on the Toronto Stock Exchange yesterday after news of the additional suits broke, falling 39 cents (Canadian) to $3.85. The stock has rallied sharply over the past week amid a flurry of good news, and is still up 38 per cent since the start of the rally on April 1. globeandmail.com

Gee, down 16% in a heartbeat. Let me shed some light on Bozo the Cowpland which may explain why Corel is tanking now that a) there aren't any more news bulletins and b) Corel appears to have stopped buying its own shares for the time being. 1) They haven't demonstrated the ability to develop software of their own making in the last several years and that's especially true of object-oriented software (read: modern). They have a severely flawed development process and they don't have a core asset of reusable building blocks. That approach was evident in their childish attempt to build a Java-based office pack. That failed attempt also demonstrated their abject incompetence in terms of software analysis and design. How bad? Since they punted completely we'll never know. 2) They are unfocused insofar as they have NC software and hardware which isn't selling and won't, realtime business analysis software which isn't selling and won't, consumer software which is losing ground and will continue to lose ground. 3) They are financially irresponsible: amid massive losses they haven't made a peep about streamlining costs and they have all but eliminated staff reductions as an option. Frisky, Bozo the Cowpland is responsible for this and needs to be taken by the ear and shown the door. He's an irresponsible buffoon with no business in business. He's a blamer who can't accept responsibility for his own actions. What you are, Frisky, is a butt-kissing Corel apologist and you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
