Opera Shares Now Trading

While world­wide the news was dom­i­nated by the ter­ri­ble bomb­ings in Madrid,
Spain soft­ware devel­oper and browser maker Opera was the ris­ing star on the
Oslo Exchange. The stock jumped from its NOK 10 intro­duc­tion price to 11.40
later in the day. Opera raised about $16 mil­lion in cash to spend on development.

Although I doubt they will take the desk­top browser mar­ket by storm any time
soon their soft­ware for mobile devices is impres­sive. In my opin­ion their focus
on mobile con­nec­tiv­ity and soft­ware is a good strat­egy. On another note
it seems investors are pick­ing up tech shares again, a renewed inter­est so it
seems. I’m still wait­ing for Google to go public.
