About market, TAPE was extremely weak. IF ECB makes a half hearted effort of cutting minimum .25%, there may be further selling. There is expectation from ECB to do more than bare minimum. Friday may be another down day due to weak jobs report. I am highlighting these so you can prepare for defensive posture for another two days. Market should find its footing by close on Friday which will be a good time to position for trades.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I listened to the CSOD conference call. Despite the barely below expectations revenue number, their guidance for Q2 and FY13 were ahead of expectations. Their calculation comes from a very strong billings growth of 50% YoY this quarter which accelerated from last quarter's growth pace of 46% YoY and a strong pipeline of deals.

They are getting faster upsells into current clients, penetrating the SMB market easily with a best-of-breed product, and seeing less enterprise competition as previous competitors being acquired have altered or reduced focus (Taleo and SuccessFactors).

All in all I am very pleased and look forward to possibly a good day tomorrow in the stock. They seem to really be in the sweet spot for growth and pricing right now.

Hi Stocktrader,

I am happy that you have good feeling about CSOD business trend & market share.

Guidance is more important than last Q.
