The suspicous investor or lurker could think one of several things:
1) He knows something we do not - likely.
2) He is about to jump ship and decided to maximize his options - doubtfull
3) He is a wiley-old dog who knows when the marketplace was a tad overvalued
- most likely.
4) He has decided to invest in pecan plantations in Argentia - doubtfull.
5) OR Something really big is cooking for MapInfo's future and to make as
clean a deal as possible he has eliminated any conflict of interest or
personal agendia - most likely.
So Bill, try to keep a positive attitude. It was not too long ago you were
very down on MapInfo's swing towards Internetization of its products. I
kind of like the idea that Oracle has decieded to deliver MapJ stuff
directly and that Oracle is an alternative to the MicroBorg vision of our
future. MapInfo is a sound "growth" investment for small company investment
(<$100 mill.) Given the players that MapInfo seems to be running with the
managemnt team I believe is hightly concerned about being and looking
squeeky clean. Strong Balance and Income sheets plus all of the very smart
alliance moves that John's team have buildt have signifiucant merit.

Very odd in light of today's release of MapInfo's second quarter
financial results. Here's the stats: 30% Revenue Growth;
Operating Income Increases 96%; Net Income up 92%. There doesn't
seem to be much wrong with that picture. But who knows why
multi-millionaires do what they do?
