The speaker at the conf. call sounds awful protective. He seems to snap back at the analyst questions. I could be wrong, but I would hate to think that was the best speaker they could find to replace the CEO's voiceless or sick voice. You can hear the CEO in the background and he sounds like the DON of the Mafia.

I would not buy tomorrow. Pure and simple: this numbers are terrible, nearly unbelievable. I remember well December 1997, when ORCL lost 30% in one trading day after reporting similar growth numbers. The street is focused on license revenue growth, and 7%, which is the pure license revenue growth number, is a huge disappointment. (Even IFMX did make 17% last quarter, when I remember correctly.) Of course December 1997 was a bear market, therefore the bulls might save you the day. But if the bears come back, watch out.
