Well here's another interpretation of the stock action: The pressure on the stock wasn't a whisper of weak guidance, it was the shorts decimating another enterprise software company (since in case you didn't know, all enterprise software companies will be forced to declare bankruptcy as y2k spending and the global economic collapse prevent all future IT expenditures.) Longs will have fun tomorrow. the trading should be interesting, i'd love to know how much short covering there was today and how desperate it will be tomorrow. Look out above, but i know some folks who will suffer for their nearly random and ridiculous attacks on all kinds of tech companies. maybe day traders getting in will gap it up even more. enjoy.

Melissa, >>I see a lot of similarities to where psft was then and sebl is today. << About six months ago I did a very close comparison of the growth of PeopleSoft during its period that is comparable to the recent years' growth of Siebel. Siebel's numbers are better. --Mike Buckley
