With that money I'd buy Twitter, Netflix and Alibaba combined instead of a company that never turned profit and no one has ever heard of.

really surprised so many are saying "a company no one has heard of".  you guys must be young because salesforce is massive in corporate america. 

and a company doesn't need to be profitable to be valuable.  you can run a company for profit or for growth,.. salesforce has been in growth mode and making massive strides in revenue and market penetration.  this is important because once a company transitions to profit mode a 1% profit margin on a billion in revenue is a lot more than 1% on a million in revenue. 

"you guys must be young", "massive in corporate america" Really, what kind of reasoning is that? Everyone outside corporate america is young?

 

I expect salesforce bubble to burst within 5 years. Sooner or later people will want to see some of their investments back, and if other cloud solutions prove to be better, they'll abandon them.
