Not really, but it can be reassuring if you're worried about risk. If they're buying it, it probably won't turn out horribly, you might well be in the right.
The funny thing is, I bought these a little before them. Holding UNH, ADBE, VEEV, CRM.
Mostly, buy based on where you have an edge. I have over 30 years of experience working in enterprise software. So SaaS software is something I understand. AI is something I understand. I laugh at most of the rubbish written about this by journalists looking for something to write about. I can also spot this thing of shares getting piled on by journalists, the multiple Eeyore narratives where every risk is viewed as a certainty, which is why I'm holding UNH.
MSCL? Wouldn't touch it. Could be great but I know zilch about bioscience. Like I don't buy Estee Lauder because I'm not using an eye pencil. I can't tell you if their new one is good or not or if the one made by Coty is better.
Everything I learned comes from the film Wall Street. Bud Fox follows Laurence Wildman around, figures out where he's flying, and from that, figures out he's going to buy Anacott Steel. It's an information edge, and in the case of that one, I think that's legal. If you're working in a department store and see lots of women around the Estee Lauder counter, that's an information edge. You can buy EL before the effect of that ends up in the results. Eat a new thing from McDonalds, and if it's great, you have an edge over the people who don't.

Does anyone on here just copy other people’s trades? For example if Warren Buffet buys United Healthcare you buy it too?
I was reading an article the other day about how Michael Burry was buying the SAS dip and wondered if anyone else felt similarly? I was looking into some of these companies over the weekend and some of them seem to have been making progressively more money for years and some of the stocks are either way down or trading sideways. The companies in question are PYPL, CRM, MSCI, FISV, ADBE, ADSK, VEEV. People on Reddit often hate Micheal Burry and I’ll admit I also find him somewhat of a blowhard but I also still think he’s a great investor. He called BABA a few years ago when it was $70 before it ran to $190. I’m thinking about buying some of these.

I work in B2B SaaS ; extremely bullish on CRM and NOW.

Their CRM (cardiac rhythm management
) portfolio is also a leader . This stock has a lot of portfolios so I believe it is a buy at this point

If you had to close 2 of these 4 positions tomorrow which would it be:
ORCL PATH CRM PYPL

CRM. Don’t own but plan to buy. No large corporation is getting rid of their sales management solution. And no large corporation is moving to a free ai solution to run millions/billions of sales transactions/management.

Had some margin left so I bought RKLB, CRM and ORCL. I liked their prices tonight heading into Monday morning.
Opening 0.65% red after a weekend of FUD has really made me extremely bullish.

Bought PATH and CRM after hours Friday. Hoping they pop this week.

Michael bury bought CRM

This is exactly right. Its funny because mainly i see two types of sentiments on reddit. It's either "AI is going to change everything. Tomorrow there will be no UI. Every SaaS company will fail, everyone is just going to vibe-code and make agents!" or "AI is worthless and can't even spell strawberry, haha".
Both of them miss the point.
The move in enterprise is, as you say, painfully slow, and boomers are at the wheel and will be for the next 5-10 years. But its coming. And its like that Hemmingway quote that often used about change, that says it happens "gradually and then all at once". Which is probably true here as well.
And honest I get the boomers. Nobody wants to be the guy that approved going away from CRM, SalesForce, Etc. and move to some risky untested system that was vibe-coded by a bunch of unknown people who can't even tell you the difference between CapEx and OpEx. It's like the old saying, Nobody gets fired for buying IBM and its going to be true for a while. The interesting thing going forward is that "Buying IBM" is going to be buying Copilot licenses or other LLM services provided by the existing large solution providers.

I work in enterprise software and have done for decades and I'm very bullish on enterprise software. This is sometimes known as SaaS but I'm particularly focused on what enterprises use rather than microbusiness/home software.
I've bought into the following companies: Adobe, Salesforce, Veeva Systems and ServiceNow.
The basis of my thesis is that over and over and over again, I read people talking about AI killing these software products by people who don't understand how good vibe coding really is, how much of a proportion of cost is coding vs everything else, and factors like cost of converting existing data, or the value of ecosystems. To explain that last one, if you're using Photoshop, you can hire a Photoshop guy. You can get Photoshop training. You can buy Photoshop plugins. The clients you send designs to will expect it in PSD.
A lot of software out there is core product with APIs, plugins, etc etc. Companies don't build their own CRM. They pay £10-50 per user per month, and if they need it to do something it doesn't do, they hire someone like me to enhance it with a 4 week software project. That's expensive per day, but far, far cheaper than building from scratch.
Look at the resumes of the people talking about AI and enterprise software. Most of them are clueless journalists. Or they're people in AI companies talking them up.
The most likely effect with AI is companies like Adobe and Shopify adding it to their tools. You've already got the base tool, add AI features, like image generation, or text descriptions for products.
I've even written in detail about things like why the Claude Mythos cybersecurity thing isn't that big a deal. People lost their minds about that, cybersecurity stocks down 10%, but it has almost no impact on corporate software or cybersecurity companies because it's about memory-unsafe software which is only a small proportion of enterprise software.

Generally, yes. I think some horizontal SaaS is more impervious than others, though.
Eg I would bet on CRM and NOW before ADBE.

Why would you have to spend days trying to connect CRM to a spreadsheet? lol this is the most simple use case and doesn’t even require building anything

$ADOBE $CRM $TTD

You have no clue how engrained Salesforce is in most businesses. My company would need 1 year and a team of 20 people to move off of Salesforce into a different CRM,

I don’t know man, I think this is it. Why would I want to spend days trying to connect my CRM API to a spreadsheet with a webhook when Claude can just take care of all that?
Also it’s all just garbage code, legacy CRM APIs are full of bugs. Which again, had it not been for Claude, I would spend hours and hours trying to untangle.

SaaS until IGV eft make all time highs….!
Why?
We use Shopify use our firm and software like CRM and also TEAM. I can tell you no one from our company ever thinks about to change these products even if someone offer us way lower prices.
It’s that sticky.

CRM

When you're managing billions of other people's money, you're more likely to avoid situations where the bear thesis can completely kill the company. Even if most sensible investors realize that the likelihood of CRM and ADBE being rapidly disrupted is low, they don't want to be remembered as the guy who bet on horse carriages after the automobile was released.

MSFT is already going after CRM with Dynamics. MSFT can legit go after anyone they want. The opposite is not likely true.
