Diana, thanks for your comments. I appreciate it about EPS - I haven't mad up my mind yet. I agree, there is nothing of substance to point negatively to. As per Prop.2, nice to see that you vote against it, too. I really think management should do better/clearer than that. Have a good day, see you later, Thomas P.S. Anybody knows whatever happened to Trevor Price? Just asking.

I received an e-mail today from a guy who I think really knows software. He has been interested in RATL for some time. Here's a few snippets of his opinions therefrom: ".... Their meeting with analysts and institutional investors about one month ago was extremely positive. I talked with someone who attended and he came out extremely bullish... "No acquisitions will occur- they are not looking to raise money to acquire- they learned their lesson. They were hurt by PLAT getting LBMS and LogicWorks and Cayenne has a tool which goes against LogicWorks, so that might be an option, but I doubt it... I don't expect that they will exceed earnings... I am still extremely bullish on the stock. I expect that they will meet earnings. I expect it to move to the 17-19 range. I expect a series of announcements in the fall about the integrated product suite. This will bolster the stock even further and I expect it to be in the 22-25 range by January 1...." I thought I'd share that with the thread. I cut out the stuff about how beautiful and witty and charming I am, and also left out the part where he gives me the inside tip for a stock which will double next week.
