While I agree in principle, how does this handle large owners of the company (such as Larry E.). Do you think that it will teach him a lesson? I don't think so. What is needed is some sort of "thumping" on the large owners of stock in a company that allow the smaller owners (read you, me and usn's) to "thump" back if the big boys don't perform as they have stated. Enforcement - how the bleep is this done? ORCL states that "The future is flat to less than flat". They have provided their end of the "deal", ergo, no problem. A discussion re: the large institution buyers/sellers would show the same thing. These folks are what moves a stock up or down. How do you enforce "uniformity standards" upon them? I'll wait (again) till ORCL drops below 10 and nibble once again. If it goes to 7.50 then I will get in with "my fur a flapping and pelt a waving" as I did before, and then "dump" when signs started going south. Welcome to the worlds biggist crap shoot (except for the currency market - which I couldn't touch). Take Care
