Currently, Oracle has made up dramatic recovery up more than 50% from its all time low. It's possible that NN could make a similar recovery just like Oracle. ------------ I'm sorry, but this is an incredibly bad example. Oracle barely missed earnings, but still had growth of 25% year over year. NN's revenues plunged quarter to quarter, and barely beat the year earlier period, despite the acquisition of a $300MM per annum networking company. The quarter was a disaster, and any guidance from other companies that have had similar experiences would probably suggest that the low 20s are probably the best one could hope for in the near future.
