Shares of cloud computing pioneer salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM) decreased in the third quarter. The company reported mixed bookings results due to what management called transitory execution issues in the domestic market in the last month of the quarter. We believe that salesforce’s addressable market is more than 10-times larger than its current run-rate revenue, giving it ample opportunity to compound revenue in excess of 20% annually. We believe the company is highly innovative, and has a strong track record of disrupting legacy environments with next-generation software. We added to our salesforce position during the quarter.
