Lol. It isn't surprising to me that you think Oracle's net profit of 440 million dollars last week was "horribe" while you think seven straight years of heavy losses (but top line growth) for internutz Amazon is wonderful!! But further regarding Oracle, I am not proposing Orcl as investment, but I am merely suggesting there is contrary evidence to your assertion that Larry Ellison is an idiot for outsourcing. Maybe competitor Siebel would be profitable too now if it had done the same. While nearly all companies selling IT for back office applications are struggling to achieve top line growth, at least Larry has his costs in line and is still a very profitable company. Let' see who weathers this storm and is still in business after three to five more years before we start declaring so and so is an idiot for outsourcing. Regards, Huey
