1. This is not first time ML did something like that. If you look at their record for 1999 in high tech, they tend to lock profits prematurely. You can find one of their statement admitting this very fact recently. I'll let you know if I find that url. Locking up profit is important for fund managers' bonus and some investors. Won't hurt to keep some from time to time. But the danger is missing out huge run-ups which is not rare in growth stocks. My guess is it's their investment style. 2. re: SUNW, It was careless or dangerous game they are playing. I tend to believe it's coming from inexperience. Crook from Pru once made similar mistake with ORCL. But he is a quick learner. He became one of the biggest bull after. One should never ever make such decision just before earnings' report unless s/he has solid evidence to support. I doubt they do because they are keeping the same rating. Happy investing!

If ML missed the run they had their chance last night when ORCL fell to 89-90 range in overnight trading on panic selling. Market PSY101 if you're big enough you can push your way in with fear.

Oracle Bullet: Oracle Clinches eList Honors From Fool.com, Fortune Magazine REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- eLists are popping up everywhere, it seems. "Top e-businesses" and "Best e-bets" are turning into the Millennium versions of the Top 10 lists, and investors are watching closely. One common link for these lists? Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL). With the recent releases of both the Fortune e50 and the Motley Fool NOW 50, both of which feature Oracle, it's pretty clear that the companies making waves in the new eMillennium will be companies that, like Oracle, are effectively creating the "e-infrastructure" for dot-com pioneers (many of whom are, coincidentally, Oracle customers) such as amazon.com and eToys. We couldn't agree more. Link: ( oracle.com )
