They would have had to preannounce several weeks ago- they are in a quiet period right now. That leads me to think that they are ok for this quarter. However, the risk that some companies face in this situation is that they drop sales of existing products and focus on selling new products. When new product sales don't go quite as expected, they are left in big trouble. We all saw what happened to Informix. I would think that this quarter and next quarter are the risks. After that, you are into a standard sales cycle of six to nine months... I agree with you Hans, I expect to see movement up the next couple of weeks. I could easily see a range of 28 to 35 and settling around 33 the day after earnings. I am thinking about adding for the first time in 12 months if it goes to 26 again.
