Larry's legions applaud their man By Shawn Langlois, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 8:17 PM ET June 5, 2002 SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - Much like a dog comes to resemble its owner, Oracle's rambunctious cyber-following has taken on some of the more prominent characteristics of their beloved leader, CEO Larry Ellison.

See full story. Shortly before the market closed on Wednesday, Larry smugly told the world, "If we had made less than 12 cents in operating income, we would have had to warn. We didn't warn," or, in other words, "Duh, are you people idiots?" On CBS MarketWatch.com, SlpryPete typified that air of assuredness: "Nice to see Ellison coming through in a pinch. Whenever it looks the bleakest, he always steps up. Shareholders have come to expect this from him. "Like Bill Gates, he knows how to temper expectations and then top them when the street counts him out. This really shouldn't surprise anybody." I'm sure Larry appreciates the comparison.

this is pure bologna. Jim Woolly is a very convincing advocate of Gold and it seems alot of people here can't handle that. Like the line from a few good men " YOU CAN't HANDLE THE TRUTH". A vibrant thread must allow strong arguments from both sides of the isle -- it is the best way the arrive at the most accurate financial decisions. Otherwise, it will be just like CNBC, a bunch of male and female dorks agreeing with one another about nothingless and substances of irrelevance.
