John -- You can bet Jan 1 - 3 the download will be busy. I'll not look for much there as most are in a lock down situation. I'll release my company on Jan 17 if all goes as planned. Then IS can pull it down if they so desire.

since you own oracle, the following may interest you. nice accomplishment by your daughter. my next door neighbor ran in the boston marathon for a number of years until he injured his shin. regards There are some mixed expectations for Oracle's (ORCL) quarterly results, but this is partly Oracle's fault. The company has somewhat misled the analysts in the past and the analysts are not sure what to expect. Nearly all analysts believe revenues and earnings will be solid. Furthermore, every analyst we've heard from, either directly or indirectly, believes there will be solid growth in the future. The problem is that the company has been fairly quiet this quarter, despite a very positive analyst meeting in mid November, and the company's sales reporting practices often result in fairly unpredictable short-term results. Therefore, the analysts have been conservative. However, we've heard from a number of suppliers of Oracle's that have indicated that this could be an exceptionally strong quarter. Ten analysts have reported an estimate of $0.21 and fifteen have reported an expected $0.22 per share, which has resulted in a consensus estimate of $0.22. However, Charles E. Phillips at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Christopher C. Shilakes at Merrill Lynch are among the analysts that have indicated there might be an earnings surprise and some whispers have reached as high as $0.28. The Earnings Whisper number is $0.24. Oracle is expected to report earnings after the market close on Tuesday and you may hear the company's conference call at nasdaq.com beginning at 5:30 PM EST. ¸ Copyright 1999, EarningsWhispers.com
