    Pretty good company, but looks like big positions are unloading -- selling into strength. This could drift up a bit more, but I'd be suspicious if I didn't see good volume.

    Reporting tomorrow. It's an expensive stock, even the forward P/E is 2 times the growth rate, and the ROE is only 5%. Would not be surprised to see this dip.

    Salesforce has been on an acquisition spree, and the M&A tempo is still going steady. The company closed its $6.5 billion acquisition of MuleSoft, a major applications integration player. In addition, Salesforce has been expanding its international operations and creating partnership the likes of Amazon and Alphabet.

    Sold at 160.05. Still like this company, but I just want to take a little bit of a profit on some of my holdings after a huge run in January for the market. Will see if I will get another chance to get back in :p

    Dreaming of Better Returns
    Mon, Nov 18, 2019

    What could be called the software industry's annual version of Woodstock kicks off tomorrow when salesforce.com (CRM) begins its annual Dreamforce event. The event is held each year at some point between September and December and is widely considered the largest tech industry conference in the world. While Dreamforce tends to shine as favorable a light as possible on salesforce.com, the conference hasn't always been a good time for the company's stock price.

    The chart below shows the performance of CRM's stock from the closing price the day before the event kicks off through the close on the conference's last day. Over the last 15 years, shares of CRM have seen an average decline of 0.75% (median: -1.45%) during the four-day conference with positive returns just under half of the time. While the overall average returns haven't been particularly good, we would note that things have started to get better for the stock during this conference with gains in each of the last four years. Even here, though, three of those four years saw gains of less than 1%.

    This place sure seems less active that it used to be when it was hotstockmarket.com!

    Anyway bumping this cause its an underrated stock. Has been slow since the announcement of Slack (WORK) acquisition but this is a great long play IMO.

    anecdotal only, but my employer uses at least one salesforce app that i'm aware of. was trained to use it but rarely do so. the best laid plans as they say.

    edit: the app is easy to use. no dig on salesforce but just poor management by my employer.
