Keep purchasing shares at this rate and you'll own the company, by Friday. I can see why you hype the stock! (I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are actually buying stock). How much do you have now, 400-900K? It will be interesting to see what happens with the GraphOn deal, what share ratio did Unity (spelling?) pay? How much does Corel own, after the dilution? You talk as if Corel will make cash on their stake in GraphOn. I wonder what the Novell shareholders thought of their stake in Corel when they unloaded WordPerfect for cash and equity. You'll notice that Corel got no cash in the transactions (at least I did not see any mention of a cash deal), just shares. Like Novell's sell-off of Corel shares, Corel probably can only sell the shares over a few years. What is the book value of Corel's stake in GraphOn and HCC (who recently just bought out a local PC builder)? Don't count any dividends, so the only way to profit ($$) is to sell portions of their stake in the companies. Let's look at the transactions for what they really are! Corel off-loaded two projects that they couldn't afford to keep. The pay-off, if ever there will be any (its a very hyped based market that these products serve) is not for a couple of years (too long a wait for Corel's books. The high volume over the last days would indicate (IMO) a lot of people trying to get quick gratification (quick cash) on Corel stock. Ciao! Jim Shaw
