Gee, I'm so impressed with Jim's purchase! Let's see he's sold investors MILLIONS of his shares of stock to investors in three public offerings, two at vastly higher prices and most recently weeks before an absolute execution disaster in his international unit. I see that pakis also bought 10,000 shares. What a sport! The series of ridiculous press releases from this company over the last few weeks to show that their company has any real underlying value left makes me even more skeptical about investing in the story again. I guess psft and SAP aren't a threat after all, just like jdas' management wants to believe. good luck sword catching, it isn't easy in this market. what happens to jdas when latin america collapses? td

Hell, that must leave him with only a couple of million shares...... I suppose it is the least he could do to try and get some confidence back into the company and its investors. Poor Jim goes off to Montana for a couple of months and comes back to find that the apprentices minding the shop have managed to knock 2/3rds or so off his fortune. Heads could roll....... At least JDA can still point to the fact that they have never missed a quarter. Still a buy I think but as Trader says some of the shine has worn off. A Latin American problem and an Asian problem will not help. All the currency devaluations will come home to roost. Just watch the DSO figure for the next quarter. And the fact they have already interviewed a new VP for International means that they can't be happy.
