Software Stocks Lead Fledgling Rally

   The strong growth-stock-led rally I have predicted appears to be getting
underway, and selected software stocks are emerging as the new leaders.
   Although I am still not buying with my own money, I am recommending three
high-tech stocks for purchase at this time, two of which are software stocks.
With my own money, I prefer to wait for the next DESI(tm) buy, which most
likely will not come until October when third quarter earnings start coming
out.


Recommended for purchase:  Informix Corp. (IFMX, $40.88)

   Informix is a leader in relational database management software.  They also
develop modularly integrated business application software.
   I have previously traded Informix earlier this year; I bought at 34 and
sold at 38.  Please refer to Vol.1 #46, May 11, 1992, for more details on
why I like Informix.
   Friday, the stock gapped up a quarter point at the open, then closed at
40 7/8, up 1 5/8 on the day on twice average trading volume.  This was a
very significant session, as it represents a breakout from a seven-week base--
a technical buy signal -- and a new all-time high.
   Informix is experiencing very powerful sales and earnings growth (see Vol.1
#46), and their next earnings report is due out Oct. 23.  At a P/E of only 18,
the stock is selling at a bargain price.
   Informix is discussed briefly on page 13 of Monday's edition of Investor's
Business Daily.  The stock has an IBD EPS rank of 83 and an IBD Relative
Strength rank of 99.


Recommended for purchase:  Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS, $32.00)

   Electronic Arts is a leader in the interactive entertainment software
industry.  The company makes a variety of sports, fantasy, and action games.
   On Thursday, the stock broke out of a six-week base on two-and-a-half times
average trading volume to set a new all-time high.  Friday, the stock followed
through strongly, gapping up at the open, and closing up 2 on volume 88% above
average.  This is very bullish.  A brief pullback is likely to consolidate this
advance, but any such pullback would be a buying opportunity.
   At a P/E of 38, the stock is not cheap; however, the company's outstanding
growth may justify this multiple.  Earnings have been on a fast growth track
since 1988.  The company earned 9 cents in 1988, 25 cents in '89, 30 cents in
'90, 42 cents in '91, and 73 cents in '92 (FY ended March 30).  The 5-year
growth rate is 45%.  That growth rate has been accelerating; the last four
quarters show earnings growth of 75%, 63%, 133%, and most recently 157%.  The
next earnings report is due out Oct. 22.
   Electronic Arts has an IBD EPS rank of 99 and an IBD Relative Strength rank
of 95.  It is discussed briefly on page 13 of Monday's edition of Investor's
Business Daily.


Recommended for purchase:  Wellfleet Comm Inc. (WFLT, $41.88)

   Wellfleet manufactures high-performance multi-protocol computer networking
products.
   I have previously recommended Wellfleet.  See Vol.1 #78, August 17.  At
that time, Wellfleet reached a new all-time closing high of 41 1/2, breaking
out of a 7-month base on high volume.  In the intervening weeks, the stock
has dipped and then come back up.  This dip provides an even more solid base
for the stock's new try at a bullish run.  Yesterday the stock closed at
41 7/8, besting the Aug. 17 close for the first time.
   For more information, please see Vol.1 #78.
