    Regardless of whether I agree or disagree with Mr. Huney's article, I have to say I am shocked that he has a venue. Does this mean that any recent grad can blog away and have his relatively unqualified opinion front and center on Yahoo? I mean, come on...... Reply

    It influences my opinion in the sense that it gives me greater knowledge of an industry and a company than I might otherwise have, but the same can be said of any former McDonald's employee evaluating McDonald's stock. My intention was not to give the reader the impression I had some great insider knowledge as a result of prior employment and my evaluation of management's excellence comes from information that was freely available to any stockholder via the earnings calls, stockholders' meetings, and official press releases; not from any close relationship with them.

    I have not owned a position in the company since April 2007, do not hold a position with any competitors of Vocus, never had any involvement with the accounting/finance department when employed by the company (I was an entry-level researcher in the data research department), and my prior employment would have no affect on the company's current operations or any items relating to FY 2008 and beyond. All my research was gleaned from SEC filings and public information.     Reply

    I'm surprised that Mr. Huney did not disclose that he used to work for Vocus only a year or two ago! For better or worse, this probably influences his opinions on the company. Reply

    The Ins and Outs of Terror-Free Investing [view article]
    Mr. Shaw

    Terror-free investing as a national policy might or might not work. The unilateral decisions of the US haven't worked out very well e are the best electronics designed and manufactured? Not in our clately, but lets put that aside.

    Who decides what is a terror state? Could China be on that list because of its policies in Tibet? What about Russia and the disappearance of its citizens? What about the US in Iraq and Afghanistan; aren't we terrorizing part of their populations? Is the decision made by someone stuck at a desk in the corner who's name and character are unknown? Maybe we could make it with decisions of congress?

    If everything goes OK, who moves in when we move out? The French, Russia, China? How about Venezuela? Maybe North Korea?
    Wouldn't it be a welcome change to see North Koreans helping out Pakistani Citizens with all their nuclear needs?

    The economic and political power of the US is dwindling as other countries of the world move toward the center stage. Where are the fastest grown economies? Which countries are graduating the most engineers, scientists, and business majors? Where are the best and newest examples of architecture? Not in our country.


    For terror free investing to work on a global scale would require the combined efforts of several independent nations. The US will need to find a new attitude of pragmatism and co-operation as its influence diminishes over the coming decades.

    However, everything else aside, the idea has merit. On an individual basis, or perhaps dedicated "terror free" fund, we could give it a try.

    Moving Beyond the Hype, SaaS Stocks Soften [view article]
    OMG, they've reinvented timesharing! SaaS -- ooo-ooo so new! Oooo so cool! lol, there was this thing called a "service bureau" back in the 60's and 70's. Yeah, the vendor had the software and you just sent 'em your data. Later there were these things called "terminals" where you could log in and enter your data to the vendor's system and get back reports online. Hmmm, them terminals were kinda like "thin clients", not much brains cause the processing was on the vendor system. Lol... the more things change the more they stay the same. Reply

    Definitely not SuccessFactors:

    "SuccessFactors is perhaps somewhat early in going public, and thus, this period prior to profitability will be harder to withstand under public market scrutiny."

    "the companies that offer applications that provide business value and have a sustainable business model (can make a profit) will rise to the top."

    Which, in your view, are they (from the ones in the list)?     Reply

    The flawed assumption in this posting is that SAAS customers will no longer need the underlying application. I guess companies will just turn off their CRM and shut down their sales efforts...
