I also expect next weeks trading to be very volatile. IMO more biased down than up with the big Friday gains. Don't forget ORCL was at 19 a week ago. I also expect some profit taking , selling on the news, and a lot of pissed off shorts who got squeezed Friday to reestablish their short positions in full force. That coupled with profit taking could easily push ORCL down to the 20-21 range by next Friday, which is also options expiration. I am selling my shares Monday morning and will hopefully buy back in Thursday or Friday at a bargain price. I expect ORCL to pop up again nicely starting the Monday of Sept. 21. when all the options games will not effect ORCL'S price so greatly. MIKE

Michelle - Oracle does not count someone who upgrades from a previous version to a new verison as part of license growth unless they increase the # of users. someone who bought oracle 7.3 pays a stiff percentage of the orignial cost every year not just for support but the right to upgrade to future versions. This was true with oracle 6/7/8 and im assuming it will be true with 8i.
