Oracle is "pariah" because its chart has turned down Let's face it, Greg, you have no clue what you're talking about, let alone any credibility here following your immature ranting here a month ago. You missed the runnup from 80 & you'll likely miss the next one. The insiders sold because they knew it wasn't going to last, not because they were going to add a toolshed in their backyard. They didn't sell because "they knew it wasn't going to last." They sold because they wanted to realize a significant part of their compensation, & they probably had been holding off selling off some stock for the past year or more because they knew sooner or later the market would respond to ORCL's successes in the e-commerce space because of ORCL's Internet-centric strategy. If I were Lane's or Henley's position I would have sold some of my holdings based upon past performance of the stock, not future performance. If you had any fundamental understanding of the stock you would know that these insider sales were not predicated upon an "overbought" condition but upon a realization of compensation tied to corporate goals.
