Shane:
From an interested observer with no DSTM position, I think your synopsis is pretty close to the mark. I like the company, but one should be aware that the q is not in the bag.
FWIW, I have read some research reports, and some of the issues with the company are less rapid license growth, greater a/r outstanding, high e-commerce market competition, and a balance sheet with diminished strength.
Any comments on these would be most appreciated. I particularly don't understand the balance sheet issues - the company has only about $300 K in debt.
Also, the comps. and growth still look pretty good, and a pretty significant discount to the growth going forward.

Shane,

Thanks for the reply (very professional reporting! - LOL).

I am really excited about DSTM and the potential value of this company for stock appreciation in '99. Even with conservative earnings estimates, I think the stock is only trading with a PE @ 10 or so for '99 earnings.

Keep in touch!
