Can you believe Afterpay Ltd (ASX: APT) is the biggest ASX-listed software stock? I can’t…

How about Xero Limited (ASX: XRO) shares edging toward $100 and with a market cap around $13 billion, plus change? That makes more sense to me…

Overseas, innovative software companies like Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Salesforce.com (NASDAQ: CRM) dominate news headlines and markets.

In this video, taken from the Rask Investor Event in Sydney last year, I explain why I love software companies and why Xero was/is right in my sweet spot.

In the near future, I’ll cover each of these companies in more detail here on Rask Media. I already own three of them.

For now, though, this is a good starter list for investors to pursue with further research, reading and modelling. If you’re looking for more ideas, including the companies that could be tomorrow’s blue-chip tech stocks, read these articles I wrote recently:
