Michelle, I think this is probably a response to Michael Cline & General Atlantic's purchases. He has been buying up a lot of stock the past two months. I doubt that these kind of purchases are towards the expectation of a good quarter. I am speculating here, but I think something big is about to happen. I just bought some at 8 5/8. Of course, I don't have any inside information. I just think that they are undervalued at 8 and change. Even if there is no acquisition, if they get their sales force back in shape, good things will happen. I have a lot of faith in their V.P. of Sales---I think Joe Broderick is going bring them roaring back. Or, maybe that's just wishful thinking <ggg>. pk

-Insider buying by Cline -His "Harvard MBA" reputation -comments on street.com -hope for positive earnings surprise well, this is all there is to it,as far as what's known on public. In past couple of weeks I have not seen any new facts, anything (on either front -MANU or SAP, I2, ORCL)which would justify upward trend in this stock. If i look at my points, i can only see: -no takeover or sale of MANU in the near future (Cline is insider, and would not be able to execute this kind of a trade knowing about negotiations w. prospective partner) -Harvard MBA ,together what he is doing and for whom, just make me feel a litle bit safer about the long term. -street.com is closely followed by large crowd for a good reason. But then again: in this case they just repeated known facts. -positive earnings surprise?would be nice, but something tells me not this Q. Anyway, I like this company, and from what i overheard the Manugistics 6.0 should be a winner. best of luck, Henry
