It's hard to tell whether the stock is 'down' because of the MSFT information, or whether this is a plus. The 'mini' correction in the market has also helped to bring us back down from the 7 area. It seems when we have an upside run on good news the stock 'corrects'. This would seem to imply, buy now sell later at the next run and always sell on a run of good news. Anyone trading on this trend does well enough with APLX to hold and hope they don't miss the real run if it ever comes. Anyone have any ideas as to whether and if APLX might be able to move up and stay there for at least a month?

Teresa Wingfield knows the market in OLAP without compare - having worked for several of the vendors in the space. I agree with her that Microsoft's target with its OLAP entrant is TM1, Cognos and the low end or desktop OLAP tools, not the high end of the market where Arbor and Oracle sit. If Applix loses that side of its business (which is a questionable contributor at best today) what happens to the rest of their business which already competes head-to-head with Microsoft? I'm wondering WHO would buy them?
