According to "The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison", at least at the time that the book was written, Ellison doesn't have a large fortune outside of his ORCL stock holdings. He has on occasion made money in the market by taking margin loans and investing the loaded money, but I doubt that anyone would tell him that it was prudent to borrow the money to buy more ORCL stock. So you can say that he "didn't have to sell", but it would have been pretty damned stupid of him to do anything else... I think that it's quite reasonable to conclude that you can't conclude much of anything about his expectations for the future of the stock price from his actions recently, and that's really all anyone was trying to say, as far as I can tell.
