    Oracle Cheaper Than Ever Following Earnings Disappointment [view article]
    Agreed that Oracle missed on sales - but come on...it doesn't deserve a low p/e of 20.05 (as of Monday 3/31/08). And with such a great roe of over 27? No way. Such a steal at this price.

    Oh, and its moat is that its horrendously difficult for businesses to migrate from one database application to another. This means Oracle has built in revenue streams for the future.

    Combine this issue with the fact that Oracle's databases' are going to become more and more complex in the future - and the fact that these databases will be used even more - and it means that ORCL is a strong buy at this time.

    Red Hat Earnings: JBoss Taking Share From Oracle? [view article]
    Give us a break. Taking share from ORCL? If you're gonna use a hook in your headline to draw readers, you're gonna need a bit more substance than what you think you see under a Red Hat. Try an non-colored crystal ball next time if you wish to speculate. Reply

    Red Hat Earnings: JBoss Taking Share From Oracle? [view article]
    To be fair to Vaughn Nichols, there is a large community of FUDsters out there that keeps shouting that open source is anticapitalistic and is an unmitigated destroyer of value. Red Hat has, of course, been making a profit, but this quarter's results indicate that it's possible to do so on a consistent basis. Reply

    Eric Saitz was totally negative on Apple approximately a month or so ago, he bashed Apple several times with his opinion based on other opinions mostly and not any or many concrete actual facts. Then one day, in someones comment to one of his articles, someone listed Eric's home address. Since then I have noticed Eric is not as negative, especially on Apple. This reminds me somewhat of a comment Charlie Gasparino made on CNBC about 2 years ago. Gasparino said something to the effect that Goldman Sacks tells their clients to buy a stock and at the same time Goldman is selling the stock and he couldn't understand why those clients still stayed with Goldman. Gasparino realized what he said and quickly changed the subject. Gasparino who had been on CNBC alot, suddenly did not appear on CNBC that much. But don't take my word for it, as Warner Wolf used to say, "lets go to the tape." Reply

    The problem at Oracle is the crazy leadership over there! Having unstable people in charge is never good for business!

    I agree: Buy. Oracle didn't really "miss" on its' earnings; it only "missed" on the analysts' expectations. They've been expecting, and providing, 20% growth year over year. The engine is good; the pundits are bad. Reply

    Oracle Cheaper Than Ever Following Earnings Disappointment [view article]
    Oracle's 'disappointing' earnings report from last week when revenues were up only 21% and EPS were up only 23% was greeted with an 8% sell-off [from a recent high set just prior to the earnings report].

    Barrons noted that the numbers were more a function of the U.S. economy than anything specific to the company. Oracle shares closed at $19.37 - off 4% on the week. The "Plugged In" columnist suggested that investors pay more attention to ORCL's earnings expansion going forward.

    "While not immune to weakening macro conditions, Oracle showed it can expand operating margins, grow earnings, and post record free-cash flows despite a tougher IT spending environment," noted Morgan Stanley software analyst Keith Weiss.

    Weiss rate Oracle shares 'Overweight'.
