SYBS was brought to my attention by hank greenberg in an article for SF Examiner last week.Supposedly,previous CEO(Powersoft CEO before merger with SYBS)turned Ellison down on a takeover offer in the low teens.Both Informix and Sybase have become leaner,more focused,and less obsessed with Oracle.Both will surprise Wall Street with their earnings and both will rightfully get analyst upgrades.
