Just yesterday, one of those Fools, Tradersinfo, succinctly summed up the TIBCO bull case for our community:
An attractively valued IT services company that's growing at a decent and sustainable, 11% rate. Not a whole lot of growth, but it's faster than IBM. ... Analysts believe that TIBCO will hit $35 in the next 52 weeks. I believe so too.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, TIBCO may not be your top choice.
