To dumpthelackies: dump bergeron now.......that's all you ever say! ever.
A quick scan of your posts back to March shows no supporting information or useful discussion from you at all. Just repetitive, mindless slagging. So whats your point? Anyone who looks at the stock chart, owns the stock, knows this company and all ERPs are severly lagging other than ORCL (like IBM, SAP, PSFT, BAANF). If you hate the guy and the company so much, why not sell now. Markets are trading daily. Anyone following this knows it's not a tier 1 ERP co, but it's valuation may reflect that. ERPs business has been lousy since Y2K, and they're trying to build some kind of market share from the single digits, must adapt in the long run to web from mainframe/client server against the ORCLs, while they say their strategy is service revenue not technology centric, and acquisitions and integrations are usually risky, although they are diverse which helps -- so if you can't handle the prospects of a company in that position then sell, or just why do you participate? Yahoo's where the shill's and manipulators hang out.
