Jane,

Good luck with your ORCL, but my tea leaves tell me you ought to be nimble. I am in the midst of lowering my personal estimates for how low the Naz can fall, and extending the horizon on that call. I had previously thought a 2200, 1800 (and possibly 1650) level was the way to play. I'm actually beginning to think, after the past few days, that 2050, 1700 and 1450 will be the levels to watch.

Btw, we have fallen in the Hot Subjects Category to a 2 way tie for 2nd. What's interesting is that the top three threads are moderated.

Which brings me to the accusation: someone over on SI SD has decided that the raison d'etre for this thread was a kind of namby-pamby political correctness, that the people now posting here lacked the requisite mental and intestinal toughness to combat the superior arguments and intellect of the, what shall we call them, Masters of the Universe? This mindless "politically correct" canard has now been repeated and I wish to state for the record: there is no sense of "political correctness" on this thread, at least not so far as its "moderation" will be exercised. People can lob in volley after volley in favor of Hillary and Bill, or calling George W a dummy, saying NG is the future, no it's dead, calling for $15 oil or $67 oil, and I won't care. And, even if 200 posters p.m. me and ask me to throw the Democrats, Republicans, Socialists, Flat Earth Society, Puff Daddy Is Innocent types off the thread, I won't do it. If anyone is looking for that kind of thread, this would not be the address.

I will even give several warnings to those viewed as spamsters before taking action, if any. My goal is to make sure this is a lively and interesting forum full of the entire spectrum of opinions on any subject. We will know I have screwed up when people leave in trickles and droves.

The above notes are simply for clarification.

"Bought ORCL "

Why would you want to do such a thing? Don't you know that old Wall Street axiom about buy high, sell low.

I sold my ORCL today at $19.50, and just bought it back at 16 7/8.

I think ORCL is over priced at $16 7/8, but it should be good for a trade.
