The most interesting aspect of the backtest of this search is that two of the previously mentioned niche leaders returned over 1000 percent in two years; they were Veritas, with a gain of 1029.6 percent, and Mercury Interactive, with a gain of 1446.5 percent. The only other ten-bagger in this search was BEA Systems (1289.6 percent), which provides e-commerce infrastructure software. Excluding the sub-par three-year performance, this search provided the kind of results that almost all investors seek - it beat the broader markets and provided some solid individual winners with leadership positions in their respective industries.
