from cbs.marketwatch.com:

In earnings news, Oracle plunged 9 3/8 to 23 on a whopping 172 million shares, the
biggest single-day volume total for any issue in Nasdaq history. Late Monday the
database software developer said it netted 19 cents a share in its fiscal second
quarter, 4 cents beneath most analysts' estimates. The disappointing showing was
due in large part to softening sales in Asia and negative foreign currency
translations due to the stronger dollar. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Lehman
Brothers slashed their ratings to "neutral" from "strong buy."


...biggest volume in NASDAQ history for a single issue...WOW!
I'd say that "overreaction" fits here -- ORACLE still turned a nice profit, didnt they? I wonder how many short sellers are on board now
