Over on CAPS, 97% of the 1,539 members who have rated Omniture believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star karthi2209, who is ranked in the top 15% of our community, and larchmont1.

In late June, karthi2209 reminded Fools that Omniture "is a leader in its domain and has a good management team." Our All-Star confidently concludes: "The company's financials are looking good and will beat the market in the time to come."

In a pitch from two days ago, larchmont1 also gets analytical:

The company has net cash of $1.30 per share. Back that out of the stock price and the forward P/E and EV/EBITDA look reasonable for a small cap that could see revenues grow 30% per annum over the next 5 years. Why such growth? As the economy slowly recovers companies will expend growth capital cautiously and Omniture's products help them figure out where to best deploy capital. The cost of using Omniture's products is relatively low. Bottom line: Small Cap, high growth at a reasonable price and no debt risk.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

    Brian:

    Under what name is your "poised to" CAPS player listed?

    Close to three months ago you said it would be up "in no time".

    I agree that this is a great investment but I think you've got to take a 3 to 5 year holding period. I don't see any reason for a great short term leap forward.
