Gold/Mining/Energy : Jetform-FORM -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

The statistics on workflow are highly questionable.

For example, while Ensemble is bundled with certain of FileNET's product offerings, I challenge anyone to find the 15% of the market that is actually using it. Probably closer to 1%.

I don't know the same to be true for Jetform's workflow products, but I bet a lot of idle software is in that number as well, and perhaps products that I personally would not categorize as "workflow".

PeopleSoft /Motorola, Inc./ Teradyne /Aspen Technology or
JetForm Corporation
I wonder how many people will choose FORMF over the other presentations?

As stated, this was an old article. I also question the workflow numbers. Its easy to say we have XX % of a market without any numbers to show that it is so. Someone recently stated that they wanted to see the In-tempo numbers before plunging into JETFORM. I would like to seem a number myself. Wait until Feb 23rd. My guess is that they will not have a published number. (Is there a requirement to state such a number in the 10K filings?)

Here is the link and closing quote from Louis Navellier:

cbs.marketwatch.com

Navellier: A lot of tech stocks aren't making money, especially software companies. And I think that's getting really disturbing. I think the market's starting to take on a lot of froth here. Sure, revenues are up, but it's more Internet-related where it chases the sales and hopes the earnings will be there.

The market will be fine as soon as something other than techs and
biotechs rally. But I think the market's really vulnerable here for a couple of months. I don't think it will correct as much as consolidate. There's just too much money running into the market everyday.
