“Ever since Red Hat Software decided to take the plunge and be
the first Open Source company to go public, investors have been
fascinated.”
“Red Hat currently doesn’t make any profits. But the
temptation that an Open Source company can displace or putting a
fight against Microsoft is what’s driving the rise of Red Hat
Software.“
“Red Hat stock has risen dramatically over the past two days –
gaining from $125 on Monday’s closing to well over $210 as of
Friday, November 26, 1999.”
