| The
Principal of the firm, Gregg Speicher, CFA, has 7 years of experience
writing research on the software sector. Using a network of contacts
built up over this time period, our research method includes going
"in the trenches," in which we perform extensive channel checks by
speaking constantly with contacts. Our research helps investors find
relevant new information and stock ideas early, before they are widely
known. |
We publish reports on individual software names and have constant conversations
with industry contacts. We also maintain a Focus List and communicate with
clients frequently. Please contact us for individual projects as well. Our
research is independent, timely, in-depth, and flexible. We believe our
research is highly differentiated from the sell-side model, in that there
are no conflicts of interest. We act with complete integrity, honesty, and
consistency. |
Our investment style is opportunistic and is often contrarian. Two
of our recent best calls, i2 Technologies (ITWO) and NIKU Corporation
(NIKU), were out-of-favor and under-the-radar of investors. ITWO
was especially ignored. However, our customer conversations led us
to understand that i2 was turning around, and the stock almost tripled
after we initiated coverage. |
