I have 9,000 shares. I'm down $33,000. I bought immediately-I didn't know anything about the company-when I saw a blurb that it was buying wordperfect so cheap from Novell -which had recently paid so much more for it. I knew wordperfect was a very good wordproccessor. Shortly thereafter I learned Corel's purchase of wordperfect was not on nearly as good terms as first described-but I still thought it was a bargain. As Corel's stock fell, I added to my position at very cheap prices. I have followed the SI boards on Corel. I have never sold any shares of Corel. I am not happy with Cowpland's behaviour, sales of stock, hyping, getting into numerous fads, and not following through-and oh yes, losing money for the company and its shareholders.
