Ahmet Okumus, a 10.4% stakeholder, has recently purchased 150,500 shares or $1,730,336 worth of stock. The provider of outsourcing services for the financial services sector reported in late March that Okumus has asked for a seat on the Bisys board. Meanwhile, the company last year announced they were putting themselves up for sale but have yet to find a buyer. The company had weaker than expected earnings and AG Edwards put out a Sell rating on the stock. In other words, everyone hates it. Except one of the best investors ever. Okumus Capital has yet to have a down year and has been averaging 20%+ since their inception 10 years ago.
