Salesforce (NYSE:CRM)

Thinking less for myself and going on Keyne's poigniant observation: "Successful securities investing can be less about your personal projections of a firms growth and more about reading what others may think is a sound investment."

Product is easy to use and very flexilbe and adapatable to any business model. 63,000 clients and growing fast!

This is the "hot" stock of the moment and unless the market crashes again I don't see it going lower anytime soon. My company (2000 employees) began using SupportForce (call management) about a year ago and from an end user perspective it needs a lot of work in this area. It is slow, kludgy, requires lots of scrolling up and down to locate needed information, and the screens are very busy. Company purchased for the outstanding reporting capabilities but the areas we need to report on cannot be easily pulled from this software. I can't speak to the Sales side, it could be superior software, but from the support side it isn't ready for prime time.

Superior software. Better than any other.

An overly hated (and overly-shorted) stock/company that had done nothing but continue to grow revenues. It is only a matter of time before we all look back and say..."why didn't I own that?"

Should be a $15 stock.

Overly-sexed CRM should fall faster than the market over the next couple weeks/months. Give the valuation metrics a gander:

Market Cap (intraday)5: 5.39B
Enterprise Value (23-Jul-09)3: 4.74B
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 104.72
Forward P/E (fye 31-Jan-11): 55.28
PEG Ratio (5 yr expected): 2.37
Price/Sales (ttm): 4.62
Price/Book (mrq): 7.21
Enterprise Value/Revenue (ttm)3: 4.18
Enterprise Value/EBITDA (ttm)3: 42.732

short candy. my modified future earnings book value estimate is 700m for this company tops. @mkt value well above 4billion today, well lets see, that's about 5 times book value atleast.

GOOD TECH SOFTWARE

GOOD COMPANY

Good company--horrible price.

PE of 30-40 might be reasonable for this company as I think it has good long-term prospects.

The stock price is down almost 50% in the last year and the P/E is still over 100. Clearly, the sales areren't coming and the valuation is still too high. And then you look at the insiders blowing out their positions. This has a thumbs down written all over it.

dot-com valuation in 2009.

A flamboyant CEO that instills his passion to the workforce.
Great technology.
Is making us wish that we live in the Cloud.
A business plan that is working.

Correction.

It stinks

This is a great business, but they will lose some customers through the recession and in the near term they'll have issues. However, I am long term bullish on this stock.

Love the product and the people in management. I think they've got star power and will sqweak out ahead - some day. I am the CRM ADMIN for my company. Our CIO wants out of CRM . It is VERY expensive and our 30 subscriptions cost almost 30k a year. We have 500 employees that SHOULD be using it, but their sales division has been very non-negotiable with us. This doesn't bode well.
