Oracle totally dominates the RDBMS market. Most people love it for that reason. They tend not to see the downside that Oracle won't be able to grow faster than the RDBMS market without new kinds of product, since they already own most of the RDBMS market. To make matters worse, the RDBMS market is slowing drastically, and Microsoft is (mis)using its market power to undercut the competition. Oracle's last major attempt at a new product category was network computing, which was largely judged by the market as a flop. The top 10 e-commerce sites all run on electricity, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to invest in power utilities. In short, Oracle has historically been one of the best growth stocks in the world. The future however is not so rosy.
