Lizzie, TALK - Know something but it goes back 3-4 years and there was some "funny" stuff going on which I don't want to get into but suffice it to say I would stay away if the mgmt. is the same MSTR - Supposedly the best product in the BI space. I used to run into clients once in awhile and they loved MSTR's product. ROLAP. Saylor (CEO) is a double edged sword. Regarded as a visionary and with disgust by different camps in the BI industry. Got them into alot of trouble with some underhanded and naive moves but was smart enough to wrangle out while still owning a large stake in MSTR. Negative $1.50 or so per share book value but that hasn't stopped the stock from going from $2 and change to $40+ (after a 1:10 reverse) although it stopped me from buying it! lol I think they are retiring the remainder of the converts this quarter. The product really is supposed to be top shelf. BTW, purchased a pretty good quantity of EXTR today.
