ORCL is a good company but it's not good for investment. Good stock should not fall 50% twice in a year. ORCL is not as transparent as some other companies and is easily manipulated. It seems that the management never cooperate with the analysts. When analysts and the MMs behind them were trying to push the price down for accumulation, ORCL kept posting good numbers quarter after quarter and the stock could not move up at all. When the analysts begin to make positive comments and forecast higher price targets, ORCL immediately report bad numbers. Analysts have never been right on the earnings for the last 6 quarters. It's a big waste to beat the estimates by 3 cents/share each quarter last year while the analysts were purposely pessimistic about oracle. If ORCL had only beaten the estimates by 1 cent per quarter last year and saved 6 or 8 cents for future bad quarters, they would have shown more smooth growth and the revenue problem of last quarter could have been easily covered up and the stock price now would have been $50+.
