I'll just buy more if it bottoms out in the 26's.

CHKPF has always been a super volatile stock. It often sells off hard on terrific earnings and then comes back strong over a few days. 24 - 26 range is the buy at the moment. VRTL is certainly having a nice day.

Check Point in particular blew analysts' forecasts out of the water. Check Point announced record financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 1998, with net revenues of $34.3 million up 90 percent, compared to $18 million for the same period in 1997. Net income for the quarter was $19.2 million or 0.50 per share (diluted), an EPS increase of 150 percent over the same quarter in 1997. Obviously, there's no shortage in demand for Check Point's network security products. While earnings for Check Point included a capital gain of $2.6 million from the company's investment in AbirNet Ltd., net income of 0.44 per share (diluted) was still a full 8 cents above First Call estimates of 0.36 per share.
