CTXS
Citrix Systems - $37.84
- -0.71%
- $37.97
The stocks with the highest risk, Pritchard says, are Citrix Systems (ticker: CTXS), an application-delivery software outfit, and Blade-Logic (BLOG), a maker of data-center software. And, owing to the financial-services industry's turmoil, Pritchard sees business-software makers Computer Associates (CA) and BMC Software (BMC) as somewhat vulnerable.
