<< Holy gee whiz , a double with MSFT. Too bad you weren't into Corel last fall- most of us tripled.>> Actually I have friends that also profitted on the pre-quarter end hype, to sell? <<Thanks for flying your Microsoft flag Jimbo - now we better appreciate your presence here .>> Because I mention Microsoft, you immediately imply that I hate Corel. Incorrect, sir. If Corel fails than Silicon Valley North(SVN) would be hurt by its demise. The mis-management and cavalier attitude has helped SVN to create a whole bunch of new startups. Many new companies have been either started by ex-Corel employees (some dis-gruntled, some not), or been staffed by former employees. Corel is to Ottawa in the 90s what SHL Systemhouse was to Ottawa in the 80s. <<Holy gee whiz a double with MSFT- maybe you should give a course or write a book .>> I wasn't trying to brag (apologies to those that inferred this from my post). The point I was trying to make, was that there are better companies around, to invest one's money, that are stabled and doubled and trebled at least 8 times in the last 15-20 years. This next split will be their 3rd or 4th in the last 3-4 years. Corel went up quickly, but have quickly come crashing down. The only way to profit from Corel shares is to play it like the money traders do, follow its peeks and troughs monthly. The previous pattern, and it still continues is: buy after the quarter announcement, sell just before the next quarter announcement. I don't have enough investing acumen to write a book. But if I did write it, who would take the time to read it to you? Ciao! Jim Shaw
