Dale... >>Congrats with ODIS. I need to look at the long-term chart, but what would constitute a real breakout for them?<< I really do not have a clue about charting or breakouts. Last year at this time if I remember correctly ODIS was around 9. They then reported less than stellar earnings and the stock dropped and dropped finally reaching 4. Based on that I suggest that around 9 is a breakout but believe me, TA is NOT what I am able to do. IMO, ODIS is on the leading edge of Object DataBase Technology. IMO, the Internet when Broadband is more widely available, using objects to "paint" pictures on the Web will be MUCH more in use. Recently, ODIS has come out with an XML language that will facilitate users getting data from standard data bases and displaying them as objects. IMO, ODIS is way ahead of Oracle on this and since Oracle has recently delayed their release of Oracle 8i, that tells you something that all is not well at Oracle with Object DB. I wish I was more techie and could explain it better. If you go to the ODIS thread and review comments by Damien Laker and Gustave, they will be much better able to convince anyone on the value of Objects. I am betting on a paradigm shift in DB's and over the next couple of years I could see ODIS into the 20's. With me and my predictions and my poor sense of timing, ODIS might now go to 4 again. I anxiously await their earnings this Q and more importantly next Q when their Execlon product kicks in. BTW, today's volume is very high and the price keeps inching up. Not great by Internet standards but I'll take it. Regards Bob T.
