Welcome aboard x70sxn! I see in your SI-profile that you're a financial analyst... located somewhere around ''the capital''. But with such a cryptic alias I believe you mean a capital on some other planet! ODIS's trend is definitely UP, even if yesterday's close below $7.00 was a little disappointing. Anyway, there was an overall late-afternoon-pullback in the small caps. Most of the volume was traded above $7.00 and the stockprice did break through another threshold, that is $7.5. All in all, the MMs sold short under/at $7.00 before covering themselves the following day (ie today), pushing the price even higher. Whatever the picture of 98Q4 is, I think most analysts will remain bullish with ODIS until July 1999. The bulk of the eXcelon revenue stream will fall into ODIS' bag after 99Q1 and, as long as ODIS keeps ahead in XML/XQL, there's no reason to downgrade the company. Now, regarding Damien's concerns about ODIS remaining a niche player... there's a simple way to resolve this issue: it's a ticker starting with an M. Microsoft can transform ODIS products in a ubiquitous paradigm: people will always question, quibble and squabble a ''tiny ODBMS vendor'' while they'll praise an established behemoth --even if it's MSFT. I tell you: this whole OO-paradigm dubbed ''niche stuff'' when promoted by a small company will be trumpeted as a visionary breakthrough when packaged by a MSFT or a SUNW (not to speak of a CA)!
