Here is a good summary of the ORCL conference call: Message 10132091 BTW - I'd like to thank ya'll for a great thread. I'm a Market Gems member, never posted here though... I'm slowly becoming a day trader... the waters are pretty dangerous right now though. I've been a lurker for a while, still getting my feet wet... actually got 'em burned back in April, loaded up on calls on internet stocks on April 18/19 and got killed, due to failure of my crystal ball, I didn't stay in or get back in, so recovery will take a while, so I decided to go do some homework. Now I'm selectively and carefully doing a little short term trading, some puts yesterday on CMGI, NITE, and EXDS worked out well, and some covered calls (obviously not on the same stocks) are doing OK. I can see that there is good money in short term trading in stocks (or very carefully, options). I admire your guts, your persistence, your careful approach, and your helpfullness to each other. Anyway, here's my 2 cents worth: ORCL looks good to me, maybe it'll even close the gap at 35. It was up to 28-29 in after hours trading. My money is where my mouth is. Until later, I'll be lurking... Thanks, George

Susan and others.. You are posting very riveting articles but know something..When the article comes from an 'internet publication' or a known internet bull, the report can be slightly biased. I've noticed that a lot lately.. You won't expect anything completely negative in such an article.. Of course I don't like the 'unbiased' reporting in Barron's any better, but just so you know that I've noticed that trend and I wouldn't go by those reports without doing your own dd.. Everyone that prints anything in an 'internet related' publication or a 'columnist' writing on the sector's news, is going to look for the silver lining and although I like to believe it I'm still pretty skeptical.
