Ken's Sidebar tells a grim tale.

A visit to Oracle.com this morning (SAST 07:30) reveals that either the
Database used to store the Stock figures on the website can't handle a
25% drop all at once, or that the people responsible (and there's bound
to be more than one) can't bring themselves to update the table and
chart to reflect this catastrophic drop.

Regards

Neil




SIDEBAR:

....  maybe the time for the brilliant while light of the simple truth
is nigh, after Oracle stock dropped 8-5/16 yesterday:  Closed
at 28-9/16;  lost 22.5 percent of its value in one day...  at least
the market masses appear to be getting restless....
