Thank god we don't have cc's with complete video yet. We'd have to interpret body language as well. Hey Judith, The funny thing is... Oracle's CFO, Jeff Henley, gave a presentation to analysts (it was Web casted too) that reiterated the exact same guidance he had given a few weeks earlier in one of their quarterly conference calls. But, a few analysts thought that Henley's body language was not good. So, they downgraded the stock, and the price fell about 20% within two days or so. Henley's private reaction was that they are a bunch of #$%! idiots. So, unfortunately, with Web-casting, you have to watch body language too. :) Best, John Del Vecchio The Motley Fool www.fool.com
