Bob...

Many good reasons for shorting MSTR; on the other hand I always have an uneasy feeling when a thread is full of bulls or full of bears.

I don't think that book values are very important for a Software Company; although market capitalisation is: compare it with BOBJY, HYSL, COGNF and you'll find out that only COGNF is higher.
But compare the dynamism of MSTR with that of COGNF!

While their software doesn't run on Unix DSS Server does access Unix Databases much quicker than most of us could imagine...
MSTR has the software which is by far the quickest in accessing large tera-byte data warehouses built on Oracle databases. They are much faster than Oracle's own software (e.g. Oracle Express) and thus MSTR eventually will win any benchmark test.

MSTR has an aggressive and very successful marketing making them a serious competitor in the niche of OLAP (including Web-OLAP) for the "established" Data Warehousing companies like SAS Institute, Oracle or Cognos.
