You notice the part about the ratio of $ earnings to foriegn currency And especially the part about flat revenue. SO Oracle sold more products in the domestic currencies of the countries in Asia it does business in than in $$$$ by a ratio of 15 to 1. It is then stuck with "profits" denominated in depreciating currencies and loses $.10 a share in revenue as a result (of currency transactions). You think Intel is immune to this!!!!
