Gary, <<Looks like we are heading for $30's. We may get to 50's in a few months, as ORCL is quickly replacing MSFT as the # 1 software company.>> I would love the first premise to be true, especially the part about the 50's, but IMO replacing MSFT as #1 is NOT going to happen in our lifetime. See NSCP for details. Regards, Rob

ORCL is quickly replacing MSFT as the # 1 software company. I carry no brief for Microsoft, but are you really serious when you say this? Microsoft are IMO monopoly capitalists, and the Justice Department needs to break them up. But precisely because of this, they are a money-making machine. In the most recent quarters available on SI Profiles, Microsoft has revenues of 3.5 Billion, Oracle 1.6 Billion. Microsoft's net margin is 31.4%, Oracle's is 11.6%. Oracle is no closer to beating Microsoft than the "elite republican guard" is to beating the US Marine Corps.
