Darren, Good call, but I've got to tell you, why the heck did Ellison wait for over 4+weeks before talking to the public (shareholders) regarding ORCL's business, and future of earnings. I really don't trust that kind of style when I invest in a company. He should have been upfront from the start-- meaning right at the release of earnings with a clear message in December. Anyway, sorry to hear you didn't make out as well as you could. My father also jumped back out before ORCL sank below 20 during its shake out. Regards, QuadK
