Every now and then vaunted investment advice site Motley Fool takes a bead on one of the content management vendors we follow. Usually their analysis is pretty good. Today they looked at Vignette's recent stock rise and declared that Vignette's stronger earnings probably come with ample potential volatility as well. I suspect the same could be said for all the independent content technology vendors. However, a rising tide of demand continues to lift all their boats. You shouldn't make technology purchasing decisions based on stock price movements, but the continued strength of independent vendors is probably good for buyers, among other things because it makes abrupt or senseless mergers less likely.
