OH, Sympathies on Oracle. I do think you got a good buy on the additional shares, though! I can beat you, on VVUS. Ick. What happened to your stop loss system? re: Oracle. Try lemon oil from a hardware store. Comes in a big tin like a turpentine tin. Linda

ORCL On My Radar Screen... >>>If anybody is feeling bad about crummy stocks I may be able to give them a laugh. Recently I bought 300 trading shares of ORCL at 32 and limited it on the HIGH side at 35 3/4. Oh well, I just bought another 100 at 23 7/8. Maybe that will help stem the sell off! There is always RECY to fall back on isn't there?<<< *********************************************** OH: I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop with ORCL, and a little basing... Then I'll buy a bunch... This is still a great company... Jim

from cbs.marketwatch.com: In earnings news, Oracle plunged 9 3/8 to 23 on a whopping 172 million shares, the biggest single-day volume total for any issue in Nasdaq history. Late Monday the database software developer said it netted 19 cents a share in its fiscal second quarter, 4 cents beneath most analysts' estimates. The disappointing showing was due in large part to softening sales in Asia and negative foreign currency translations due to the stronger dollar. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Lehman Brothers slashed their ratings to "neutral" from "strong buy." ...biggest volume in NASDAQ history for a single issue...WOW! I'd say that "overreaction" fits here -- ORACLE still turned a nice profit, didnt they? I wonder how many short sellers are on board now -dave
