I believe that unless the stock goes up soon, Sapiens must become an interesting takeover target. Cheap stock, good customer base, experience not only in Y2K but Euro (of which much more potential, IMHO, over say the next 5 years). A good target for an EDS, or an IBM, or another tools company. Certainly there are some 'pure' Y2K companies out there who must be looking to cash in their stock on something with longer term potential, while that stock is still worth something. Whilst people think that Euro has a cut off date like Y2K, I dont think thats strictly true, because there will be a more gradual takeup, for example among companies in the countries not going to the Euro immediately. Just think of the Euro market in the UK alone. There will be many UK companies putting Euro-capable systems in over the next few years, even without the UK getting into the EMU. And obviously a lot more later as new or growing companies wish to trade abroad, and even more if/when the UK enters. JoeC

Alex... you'd be alot richer right now if this lawsuit had never been brought.... stock would have twice the eps (float effectively doubled to cover the suit.... what a fiasco) and no stigma... a lesson to be learned... shareholder lawsuits NEVER return anything to shareholders... only to opportunistic attorneys... today, SPNSF would have been fully protected under "Safe Harbor" clause about forward looking statements... it should be obvious, this company never meant to defraud anybody... they were just a little too optimistic... I suspect SPNSF would be in the high 20s (compare BEAS, and a host of others).... If, anybody is listening... getting even is a waste of time and energy.... one's interests are ALWAYS better served by moving on (when one feels he has been wronged) and putting energy into positive opportunities... But, guess that's all water under the bridge now... and we're all alot wiser... C'mon SPNSF, lets's kick it in and make a whole bunch of money now.... Craig
