Hi Philip,

I guess the question is: are we in the denial phase of a Bear Market (for tech's or the market as a whole) or is this merely a pullback in the long running Bull Market? If it's the latter, then it's certainly a good time to buy Oracle (in fact I did own it for the last five days.) If it's the latter, your question should read: do you *really, really* hate the stock? There have been few things put in the path of the US stock market that have the ability to derail it, but this Asia crisis is certainly one of them. The market's reaction to Intel's earnings makes me believe that the smart money is leaving the market. While I agree you have to climb a wall of worry to make money going long the market, I think I may start to climb a little later and cheaper, hopefully. I said I was Neutral on Oracle now, so I think you have a 50-50 chance of being correct about the upside potential.

Regards,

Richard
