Date: 1996/07/16 Message-ID: <4sg70o$ema@dfw.dfw.net>#1/1 X-Deja-AN: 168506633 organization: DFWNet -- Public Internet Access newsgroups: comp.lang.ada,misc.invest.stocks Date: 1996-07-16T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: Given the slide of the Dow lately, it should come as no surprise that most stock would dip accordingly. Oddly, Rational stock has plummeted from 66 1/4 to 40 1/2 as of today. This tumble happened in less than four weeks. The optimistic person would happily proclaim that it's a significant improvement over the original IPO (under the RATL symbol) of 9 5/8 (or something like that). That being said, a 25 point drop in a few weeks says something about a company's performance (investment-wise, I learned long ago there's not a high degree of correlation between the technical competency of a company and its performance with the other stock ponies). Anybody have some insight into the drop? Browsing the investor relations page at www.rational.com shows how wonderfully profitable they are, but says nothing about the sudden drop. -- Visit the Ada 95 Booch Components Homepage: www.ocsystems.com/booch This is not your father's Ada -- lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada
