Just in line will definitely not cut it. We may see orcl back to below 30 in a week or so.

If oracle comes out in line at 19 cents/share would that not cause for the stock to drop? Since the expectations on the streets seem to be higher than that? Two things as a rule dictate the movement of the stock. 1) Meeting and beating earnings projections. 2) Forward looking growth. Just meeting earnings alone will not help the stock. The Conference Call comments are the key. Keep in mind the analysts do not always get things right. Hope that helps you with your question. eom Tom
