How about this? You're a trader sitting on ORCL with a profit, and the analysts are going to say yea or nay tomorrow or Monday. You don't want to take any chances, so you bail now and get back in later. Or how about this: I don't know.

That's right, no news. Just some profit-taking and some speculating on so-so news from the conference. You've got a group out there that want to sell into the strength, but when the strength doesn't come when they expect it, they bail to lock in what they have just for insurance. The market's real jumpy now. Check out the big losers on the Nasdaq today. The momentum in Oracle will be feverish after this next earnings report. It will be a good time to take advantage of the overbought state it will be in. Sell into strength or resistance, not with the low volume sheep-sellers.

The slide could be due to the news below....... Shipments of network computers, low-cost devices that draw their computing power from networks, were less than expected in 1997 and probably will not be "significant" at all this decade, an influential market reseacher said. Shipments of the devices tallied just 144,040 units in 1997, less than previously anticipated, according to a report by Dataquest. Shipments of network computers will rise only to 482,196 units in 1998. This is a tiny fraction compared with 90 million personal computers, or PCs, shiped in 1997. NCs drew a lot of attention in 1995 and 1996 as promising, low-cost alternatives to full-blown PCs. Companies like ORACLE CORP, SUN MICROSYSTEMS INC and IBM set out to design or build these machines.
