Technology Stocks : Oracle Corporation (ORCL) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Dear Hardly: You were correct (among others) that this was taken out of context from the standard boiler plate forward warning language. "Oracle said that it has used the exact same wording in the 10-Q statement to describe the database business environment for the last 11 straight quarter" Excellent call. I sold most of my ORCL 2 mos. ago (circa 24) but have since bought a bunch of 22.5 and 20 calls of Jan 99. I still own them and maybe in part to your pointing out that the bogus story might have been just what it turned out to be. On the other hand The Street.com has a not too helpful article today re ORCL employee options but I thought that negative news broke about a week ago. Sorting out the BS from the real news is getting to be a bigger task every day. Thanks for the post. John Dowd
