Important Message to Bob Brinker Fans I decided to drop by today and share some information and make a request to those on this thread. If you are like me and tend to arrange your weekends around Bob, then this information may be of help. Upon information and belief, I think that this weekend's show may be the last one Bob does this year. I believe he may have the following two weekends off. So plan accordingly. As many readers of this thread know, Bob's contract is due to expire at the end of this month. I do not know for certain if he has elected to renew his contract with ABC Radio. Word has it that he was contemplating a one year deal this fall with options. If you respect and appreciate Bob as I do, would someone please call in this weekend's show first thing and ask him if he has signed a new contract. I am uncertain if Bob would ever call attention to his decision on his own and this weekend may be the last opportunity to listen to him if he has chosen to leave to pursue other interests, i.e. golf. If he has decided to renew his contract, what a perfect opportunity during this holiday season to thank him for all he has done and extend your appreciation for his decision to remain. What a great way to set the tone for the weekend's show. If he has decided to pursue a golfing career or, perhaps, a career in trying to beat Bob Jr. in golf <g>, then what a perfect opportunity to say thank you for all he has done and wish him well. Remember, the more people who try to dial in, the better chance there is that someone will get through to ask the question and set the tone for this weekend's show. Perhaps the first person on this thread who calls in and asks the question should have one month's bragging rights on this thread. Happy Holidays!

Sounds like you followed the wrong Oracle analysts. Goldman Sachs Oracle analyst recently removed Oracle from the Recommended List and observed at $32 that the stock lacked upside potential. And I guess tonight at $23 that was a fair comment. Nice work Goldman Sachs! Looks like the other Oracle oracles got left at the trading post before the floodgates opened. One thing if for certain though. Every earnings shortfall for the next several quarters will be in one way or the other linked to the Asian situation. Sure does provide CEO's with plenty of fodder for excuse abuse. And, of course, there is always El Nino, the old reliable excuse for just about anything that happens this year.
