You are dreaming or you haven't looked back a year (March 99) at ORCL when *they* missed earnings and got slaughtered for 22% in a day.

In this market anyone is dead the instant they mis-step. It seems a 40% haircut is the standard punishment now.

...and with all these earnings announcements from companies and some obvious slowdown, you honestly think Oracle is going to sail unharmed through it all? With the predictions they're carrying?

I wish you luck, I personally have no position on ORCL.
