If you feel the revamped company doesn't have much of a future you should sell your shares.

I did, but chiefly because I had an absolutely compelling (literally once in a lifetime) alternative investment. If I was wealthier I would still be holding this stock. I have always believed that this company's technology represented incredible untapped potential, so the possibility of explosive upside has always existed. It's just that there has been a consistent record of conspicuously failing to fulfill the potential.

The financials look much better than most according to number one son

Revenue growth has ranged from ordinary (at best) to truly pathetic over the past year or so. Revenue growth is the name of the game for companies like this.

Oracle had revenue growth better than 100% per year for seven straight years. This company has always had the potential to achieve that, but has underachieved it dramatically. From his prediction of $2 eps, ahhaha clearly believes the company will start to deliver. That remains a belief about the future (and possibly a correct one). There is no clear evidence (yet) in the financial statements that this company has shaken off a track record of under-achievement.

I have always believed this company had enormous upside potential so I do not rule that out. I'm just saying that there is no proof in the financials that anything has changed.
