Hi J P: This is good information, but... IYO, "what" would make you think they're going to cover? I'm long ORCL and I've made money (paper), but a) this threads been very quiet since the downward slide on Monday (attributing a lot to consolidation, etc. ... but I'm not so sure about that). Down yesterday, now today, etc. I posed a statement and a question the other day. The statement was that both Lane "and" Ellison "hedged" their comments on the 25% jump this next Q, and the question was did anyone else think the 3+ point spike last Friday was a reaction to the conf. at Goldmans and more "hype" than substance. Again, I'm long, but pragmatic. So what leads you to believe that the shorts are going to start "scrambling"? TIA. Regards,..Joe<flat sales for next 2 Q's ain't gonna cut it for them>
