Positive Barrons Article: Page 68, "By contrast, Informix, a database software company that has survived some tough times, won some new admirers, thanks to a presentation by CEO Bob Finocchio that received rave reviews. "It's the most surprising thing I've seen," said Nick Moore, a portfolio manager with Orbitex Management. "He's making the right moves to restructure the company," agreed Mort Cohen, who runs Clarion Group, a Cleveland-based investment firm. "He's focusing the company on the high end of the database market. He's got this vision of using the Web to interact with databases." Informix also won kudos from Mike Murphy, the funds manager and newsletter writer based in Half Moon Bay, California. Murphy, who has been recommending the stock, observed that most analysts were expecting the company to report a loss for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31; they actually notched a modest profit, on a 12.1% sales hike."

This kind of open interest in MAY 10 CALL options may keep the price of the stock capped at a price of 10 around expiration time. So if the price of the stock rises above 10, and allow for this to show in a workable premium, I will write another round of options. I would not be surprised if the increased near term volatility of this stock will take the price above 10 again. Also I am looking forward to more positive news reports from Bob F and company that can facilitate trades in IFMX. Bob Graham
