It seems ORCL is cheap - appx 20 times next year earnings of $1.10. Long term growth is 25+%. That's good value. The growth rate used to be 25+%. In the future, it may be much less. Lots of people paid $35 for this stock because they simply extrapolated the historical trend. Growth in the relational database market seems to have almost stopped. In a couple of years it could be a shrinking market. The growth rate might be negative. In that case a P/E of 25 would be mighty expensive. You may be right, and I hope you make a lot of money from your trades. But I'm surprised that lots of people on this thread seem to still just be extrapolating the historical trend. I thought the recent news showed where that can lead.
