Judging by after hours buy-sell ratio at $23, I would put in a bid at $17-18 for Wednesday. Sure looks lower at the open. They can't give this stock away in aftermarket.

It is reasonably obvious that a herd mentality is what has substituted for judgement. The future is the low cost pc and connection to the telecommunications of the future. This is the road of Oracle and the jagged way up is unfortunately the investors mountain but the ultimate goal when attained will be worth the stay. Oracle is a fine company with good management and the pain of this type of day is the results of the market environment not the values. Those that proclaim a bottomless pit are wrong.

If Larry thought he had to undergo a lot of analyst scrutiny before earnings in the past, today will sure as hell guarantee that he'll be given no slack in the future, ever. Fool me once, shame on you, blah blah blah blah. Of course the way most analysts operate, they'll probably be back on the ORCL bandwagon before too long. I wonder, though...with the number of upgrades coming out as of late, you have to wonder just what in the hell these people were looking at. Tea leaves? Crystals? Has Oracle Corp. become a fundamentally different company today? Long at 30, Mark ps -- the street hating NC's is about the best damned reason I can think of to buy ORCL right now, aside from the bargain price.
