From the Motley Fool (re ORCL): "The long shadow of the firm's 1990 accounting debacle that caused shares to tumble more than 75% during the year is still vivid in the minds of many institutional investors. " I think reply #4066 was talking about this. Anyone else have personal experience with this event? I remember reading a few months ago in Time Magazine that if someone had put $3,000 in ORCL in 1990 (presumably after the tumble) it would be worth over $1 million today. Ok, well, not TODAY, but I think this might be the exact same kind of opportunity. I wouldn't mind being a millionaire in 2004 because of my tiny little purchase today.
