Hi,
wer BWEB zu diesen Kursen verkauft, dem ist nicht zu helfen.
Die Aktie hat sich am Freitag deutlich von den Tiefstkursen erholt.

In den nächsten Tagen stehen folgende wichtige Events an:

Meeting mit den europäischen Kunden in Paris: 31.1.2000

Analystenkonferenzen:
Soundview 2/2; Goldman 2/7; CIBS Israel 2/21; Robbie Stephens 2/28;

IT-Konferenz:

IT for WallStreet 2000
BackWeb Booth #675
February 22-24, 2000
Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Hall E
New York, NY


Fazit: Die Zahlen waren super. Bei einem Umsatzmultiple von 50,
vergleichbare Werte werden sogar bis zum 100fachen bezahlt, auf der
Basis der 2001-Zahlen (Umsatz 80 Mio.US$) ist eine Marktkapitalisierung von 4Mrd. US$
nicht unmöglich, d.h. ein Kursziel von ca. 120$ auf Sicht von 12 Monaten.
