MicroStrategy, Inc. (MSTR)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a provider of business intelligence software that enables companies to report, analyze and monitor the data stored across their enterprise to reveal the trends and insights needed to make better business decisions.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This is a good company. It's no longer a growth stock and won't soar up at exponential rates, but it does have a stable customer base. In the US, it has a good market share in the BI business. It's main competitors Cognos was bought by IBM last year. Any bets MSTR will be bought out soon? The CEO Mike Saylor, is a weird guy and has insisted on staying independent.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
