is not prospering, I don't know what is
You are right, I do not buy fly by night companies and I chose to invest in Oracle because it is a solid company. I'm crass enough to like either quick or steady returns.

If I could give advice to the company founders it would be to come out with small but functional products that they could almost give away to small users. This would have the effect of pressuring the margins of the competition while not losing sales (since they don't sell to that market anyway) and getting a lot more people used to using the Oracle products and therefore more likely to recommend them.

Thank you for that pretty nice post. Sometimes its more important to look at the company rather than the TAs and the chartists and the wouldbe public relations executives. JMO, of course.

Michael, you've said it all. Let me add some. Boeing is one of Oracle biggest customers. The Delta project has been using its product for a longtime. I remember the winter 97/98 when ORCL was 17 pre-split. This is the time to load up the truck.
Kacey,
