 Cognos business intelligence solutions and services

resellers. (source: company press release)

Why We Like It:
The software sector has been a jumpy group lately and we're not
seeing a lot of leadership with MSFT trading below its 200-dma.
However, we have noticed a few players in the "business
solutions" group doing okay.  One of those is Cognos Inc.  Shares
of the stock have done very well the last few months and really
jumped higher in December after their Q3 earnings report.  The
stock ran into heavy resistance at the $27 level in early January
but has since consolidated back to the $24 mark with a nice
intraday dip last Wednesday.  Volume was pretty strong on Friday
as bulls pushed shares up almost 2% heading into the weekend.  In
the news, First Albany Corp. recently upgraded COGN to a "buy"
and gave it a $30 price target.  First Albany cited the recent
earnings improvement over the last two quarters and a decent
entry point supporting a decent risk/reward scenario in COGN.  We
happen to agree with them on the entry point idea and don't mind
targeting the $30 level either.  There is still a wall at $27 but
hopefully this time COGN will be able to trade through it.  We
are going to start the play with a stop at $23.70, which is
Wednesday's low.  We still recommend keeping an eye on MSFT and
the GSO.X software index to gauge the market atmosphere.
