ttf..You are getting your chance to short MSTR today! Already up $5 in the first 15 minutes or so. I follow MSTR, and read this thread daily, but rarely post here. I am NOT puttin you down, I agree with some of your comments and thoughts re: the value of MSTR and the hype attached. It is overvalued today, only time will tell IF they can deliver the goods. Couple of things to debate on: Management is well known, and that counts. He also knows investor and brokerage relations. Merrill Lynch is pushing this one. (correct me if I am wrong) MSTR has many re-seller agreements now, and some integration of new products that may enhance both customer needs and satisfaction and revenues too. These give MSTR more than just one product to fill customers unique needs. I do agree that "Query Tone" alone will NOT assure the success of MSTR, but combined with the new services and products that are coming in place may help. IMO, many of the small co's are now partnering and integrating pieces of the "niche" data products to help them compete and improve their products and service. IMO, this may be the key to their success. just my thoughts and IMO..for what it is worth. and I do NOT own any MSTR. for disclosure purposes.
