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.
