Ira, By the way, don't think for a minute that I don't recognize the long-term potential of ORCL, I just felt the desire to start digging the portfolio out of the red with a few trades here and there. I fully understand the value of buying and holding good companies, because I've made mistakes by selling in the past. For example, in 1997 I bought 300 shares of Sun averaged at about 32, well, it's now above 70 after at least two 2 for 1 splits, so I don't even want to think about what I left on the table in that deal. I'm just hoping that there's a pull-back in ORCL to about 32 or so, and then I won't hesitate to buy it again. Thanks again for the input. Have a nice evening. JMaz
