“Fierce investor craving for shares connected with the hot Linux
computer operating system made Canadian stocks Corel Corp….and
Perle Systems Ltd….sizzle again on Thursday.”
“Appetite for the Canadian issues was whetted by hunger for
initial public offerings of issues such as VA Linux, a U.S.
provider of Linux software and systems.“
“On Nasdaq, Corel…peaked at 45-5/8 before retracing slightly
to trade up 13-4/16 at 41-9/16 late morning. It was the top active
on the technology-heavy exchange, with more than 23 million shares
changing hands.”
