Jeff, the only thing that scares me about ORCL is that Ellison announced two days ago that he was foregoing a salary in favor of more stock options. On the surface this would appear to be a very bullish indication. But interpreted another way, it could be his way of saying, "sorry for screwing up this time, but look to prove that I expect things to get better, I will take all of my pay in stock options". Not much of a risk for him really though, is it? His stock can drop 75% and he would still be a multi-billionaire. It is the timing of this announcement that has me concerned. JXM
