    Bargain Hunting: Oracle, Symantec, Tata Go Shopping [view article]
    Oracle's stock is down over 35% in two months. That is two months after the announcement of an $83.6 million dollar salary to the CEO. Stockholders - this is your money. The Board is suppose to represent you - not line the pockets of the CEO with your money, your children's money, and your grandchildren's money. Fire the board. Reply

    Since Oracle announced the $83.6 million dollar salary to the CEO, its value dropped from $23 to $16.80. A loss of around 35% in stock price. What was Oracle's Board thinking when they allowed stockholders money to pay their CEO more than the typical $5 million dollars that a CEO like Avon gets when she grew shareholders' money about 20% in one year. .

    You can bet they're not getting investment advice from Jim Cramer. Only the poor do that. Reply

    why would you own SYMC? did you see its chart for the last 5, 6 years?
    I am also very disappointed with CTXS ( I hold it too long) and VMW ( I don t own it directly but own EMC). Would love to know their opinion on CSCO though.     Reply

    Nobody denies that Symantec knows how to put on a show. They don't wow their customers quite so much. Reply

    What is the False Positive Rate and False Negative rate for Symantecs' Data Leak Prevention System (DLP)? If it's not zero for both, their market share will start to diminish once customer's realize that accurate detection is the main function needed for a true DLP solution. Reply

    Mr. Thompson is impressive - and you were apparently greatly impressed.
    However, it was the same Thompson that tanked Symantec by the Veritas acquisition and no sweet talking is going to change that blunder.
    Mr. Thompson was a veteran IBM sales executive. IBM sales executives are known as smooth talkers and you were conned.     Reply

    McAfee Battles Internet Bugs, Bigger Rivals - Barron's [view article]
    For last few years we've read MSN, Google, AOL, Firefox et al provide these services. I myself purchase virus/spyware software and turnoff the
    free stuff but still it presents a headwind. As for MY computer safety, i use CheckPoint's ZoneAlarm and am very happy. Why do I never hear checkpoint mentioned as security, other than Firewall?     Reply

    I would bet on better earnings for Mcafee.
    As per Forrester's report
    www.forrester.com/ER/P...
    IT Spending is on the rise. Even if it was flat, security spending seems to continue to grow as companies are getting more aware of security as a separate practice. Companies have started view security more from a strategic level than just a tactical measure. (evident from interest at the board/executive level). And they are realizing the long term reputation and financial consequences from a security breach. Look at some of the recent data breaches. TJMaxx - with over 40Million records stolen, and the weaknesses in IT security at Soc Gen that were apparently exploited in its £3.9bn trading fraud!     Reply
