Kirce: No, MSFT doesn't say business is great 3 weeks before an earnings disappointment. ORCL has a history of this, and I'm guessing that they'll have to pay off a shareholders suit before this is over. Just MHO.

K, With regard to your comment that MSFT should be down 30% too: 1) Did msft miss earnings by 20%? 2) Does ORCL have a seperate account of 2,000,000,000 dollars to smooth out earnings shortfalls? 3) Have you checked to see if MSFT and ORCL have a slight disparity on profit margins? 4) Does ORCL have a monopoly in the database market? 5) Did ORCL say exactly what e would be 3 quarters in advance? 6) Is orcl buying back billions in stock each year? 7) Does orcl have 9 billion in the bank? Most importantly, does msft have Larry Ellison running the zoo? I don't think so.
