Why are you so infatuated with my profile, anyway? Allow me to answer this. Anytime I see a profile where one individual, yes only one mere mortal man, is a CEO, tenured professor at UCLA, who went to Cal, Harvard, London School of Economics AND Harvard, AND has a BA, MBA and (probably multiple) PhDs.... well lets just say Im impressed! Even more impressive however is the fact that your massive brain is no doubt preventing you from seeing the point of many of my posts, which are in agreement with some of yours regarding Oracle stock price.

<<But I suppose someone has to be at the "loser end" of the bell curve.>> > Did that have racist overtones? Nope, nothing racial about it. Almost everything that is the result of independent variables is normally distributed, including how well Ph.D.'s in English compose email, apparently. I guess I was incorrectly supposing that your purported quantitative skills in economics would allow you to see that the use of "bell curve" was technical rather than metaphoric. > Why are you so infatuated with my profile, anyway? Morbidly fascinated would be closer. I have daughters that will someday go to college, and on the off chance that one of them might end up at UCLA, I am hoping that you will be retired by then (assuming that you aren't really teaching at Cal State Long Beach). <<<I've been mostly out of the market since the middle of the summer, since I thought we might see a general drop like this. I do hold a fair amount of ORCL and some SEBL, but I think of them as long term investments..>>>> > Why are you telling me this? Do I care? I assume not, but I was responding directly to one of your comments. However, your attention span seems too limited to recall this and your exclusive self-involvement is palpable, so I should have known better. It's just that when we buffoons on the list exchange opinions we sometimes spell out our positions in various stocks to help others account for our biases. It's stupid and boring, but it's the best we can do.
