I doubt the DOJ ruling had anything to do with the recent jump.  I suspect
that it was being propped up by institutional investors (Intel perhaps) in
order to give it the buying power it needs to purchase a few other key
components.  I'm guessing Applix is next.  Corel doesn't want to be bought
(Copeland is a pretty independent sort) and besides, their products really
aren't that great.  Applix is a better fit.  

But it's all just speculation, of course.
