Several weeks ago the Washington Post had a special report looking at tech jobs in the DC area. The highest (and unfulfilled) demand by far was for Oracle programmers. Also, I just returned from three years in Russia and was really impressed with Oracle's presence there in such a difficult emerging market. Oracle has a heckuva operation in Moscow. The world's second largest software company isn't going away, and I think that anyone who invests now will be rewarded over time. My wife and I jumped in at 22 (pretty stupid--nobody gets to be a hero by trying to guess the low) but we are comfortable with Oracle in our portfolio. It's a big world out there with an insatiable demand for American technology and know-how. Good luck to all ORCL holders.
