Hasn't had a chance to look closely at yesterday's earnings. Stock's at a 52-week, if not all-time, high today. Looks interesting, given the cloud space it's in. Not expensive at 2x PEG, with forward PE of 29-30x. Earnings growth rate ~16%.
Technically, meets his criteria. 200-day MA is trending higher, and price is above that. High beta, volatile.
Went into yesterday with a 6% position in his fund, now just above 8%. Probably won't trim until it gets between 9-10%. Backlog was 360% more than what was expected.

A decline in revenue can be concerning, as it might indicate reduced sales or challenges in the market. It's important to investigate further to understand the underlying causes. Social media mentions are up 217.5% in the past 24h.
(A Top Pick June 24/16. Up 31.13%.) This was a sleepy, boring name. His argument was always that the company was going to do exactly what Microsoft and Adobe did successfully, trying to convert from a legacy based platform to online Cloud. They are doing that.
