I've had dealings with Kirk Bowman. He is truly a star. The fact that he bought 40k shares speaks volumes for me. Sales VPs are like canaries - great indicators of action to come. So if Bowman ever jumped, I'd be inclined to dump ODIS that very same day. Doesn't look like that's the case, however. Sea Otter

Why send a message to the web mistress? She can't make the stock go either but she might be able to make Bowman.

I admit that I have also dumped a few companies on SI but it was justified! Fulcrum Technologies for instance: this Canadian softwarehouse dropped from $15.00 to $1.00 a few weeks after I warned people on SI ... Gustave, nice call! It's funny you mention Fulcrum, because I had dealings with them (as a customer / software developer /systems integrator) and ultimately was not impressed. In the end, they reaped what they sowed. Fo me it's the same story with Object Design. I deal with them all the time. But the difference is I am impressed with them. Sure, the marketing used to be bloody awful, but the technology is insanely great and the marketing is definitely improving. If the marketing was not being improved, I would be really worried. We're not out of the woods yet, but the marketing is definitely getting better - I think this is the key to long-term success for ODIS.
