SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (CBS.MW) -- Oracle was the only issue among
the Nasdaq's top 10 volume movers to head into positive territory on
Thursday amid upbeat comments by the software giant.

Oracle (ORCL: news, msgs) gained a hefty 16
percent in late afternoon trades. The stock rose
$3.63 to $26.50 on heavy volume of 84 million. It
was the third highest volume stock on the Nasdaq.

Larry Ellison, the company's founder, and Jeff
Henley, its chief financial officer, made presentations at the Credit Suisse
First Boston Technology Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz. earlier Thursday.

According to a press release issued by CSFB, both presentations were
"positive and upbeat."

The firm also said that Henley reiterated Oracle's guidance for quarterly
results.

A First Call survey of 31 analysts puts the company's earnings at 10 cents
a share for the period.

The bullish tone of the presentation prompted CSFB analyst Wendell
Laidley to reiterate a "strong buy" rating and $48 price target on the
stock.
