I am going to be away from the internet until early April (leaving this Monday) and am trying to figure out what to do with my holdings while I'm gone. Any opinions about short term and long term prices for RATL would be welcome. Thanks. elepet, I do not know if this was directed at me but I first looked at RATL last night. I have no clue as of yet. Glenn

I think RATL is in excellent position business-wise for the next few years. The marketplace as projected by Forrester, IDC, Jupiter, whomever is growing fast in OO-designed software. RATL has comprehensive suite of tools for the job. RATL may have acorrection because of recent runup from $23 or so, but this would be a good buying opportunity. I'm long RATL for about 15 months now. I'm holding long, hoping that RATL management will execute well. If they do (as they did over the last year), in 2 years this stock should be much higher. How high, I have no idea. If you want to know what will happen to the _STOCKPRICE_ over the next 2 months, I'm completely clueless: Could be up or down. I rather focus on the business: As long as the outlook is good, I'll be long. Hope this helps :-) Thomas
