With concerns over recession, turmoil in the financial sector, fear of rising rates, high market volatility and a rising aversion to risk, many investors have been avoiding technology stocks.
Investors have feared that these economic headwinds will dampen both consumer spending for technology products and reduced capital expenditures for technology in the corporate sector.
Despite these concerns, some of the newsletter industry's leading advisors are looking beyond the

Oracle is one of the most celebrated companies in the tech space. It has had a very flamboyant owner who also has a very stable and a great sense of business. One of my childhood friends joined this company at least ten years ago and he hasn't left it, which goes on to show that employee attrition is not a problem that this company faces. It has displayed consistent growth in the last few years despite the problems that it can faced from its competitors. I truly appreciate the grit that this company has shown and with the explosion of knowledge industry worldwide, the demand for Oracle dat...
Oracle Corporation (ORCL), a $22 billion producer of database software and other business software products, has the potential to "climb more than 40%," says the cover story in the May 19, 2008, Barron's magazine. <!---->
Barron's cover story this week takes a sensationally bullish stance on Oracle (ORCL) and its controversial CEO Larry Ellison.<!---->
Oracle bears seem to think Ellison is pre-occupied with yacht racing. It may be true that he loves boating, but with 42 acquisitions worth more than $30B in less than four years, it's hard to fault Ellison for giving Oracle less than his full attention. Coupled with its formidable $22B in annual revenue, margins have climbed to 42% from 36% five years ago.
"New software license revenue of $1.616 billion (+16%) was slightly below our estimate of $1.641 billion and did not meet street expectations (+20%). Database and middleware license revenues were $1.165 billion (+20.5%) and applications license revenues were $451 million (+6.6%), light of street expectations and at the bottom end of management’s previous guidance of a 15-25% increase in new software license revenues. During the call, management established a more cautious tone regarding the macro-economic environment..."

3/27 - "Oracle indicated that customers became more cautious near the close of its quarter. The weak U.S. dollar contributed 700 basis points of the company’s revenue growth. Oracle increased its Americas revenue 16.9% to $2.7 billion, its Europe/Middle East/Africa revenue 26% to $1.871 billion, and its Asia Pacific revenue 25% to $771 million."
"We lowered our Q-4 08, fiscal 2008 and 2009 operating EPS estimates one cent to $0.43, $1.22 and $1.45, respectively...We consider the sell-off in Oracle shares excessive and believe that Oracle shares could rebound in the event the company delive...
The market is getting a bounce in early trading after some positive earnings reports.
Oracle (ORCL) beat consensus estimates and also raised guidance. It stock gapped higher on the open, and is helping the tech sector.
Nike (NKE) also beat estimates, and raised guidance for future orders. That stock is higher also, but the overall retail index is lower by a bit.
And Texas Instruments (TXN) said it will buyback an additional $5b in stock, and raised its dividend 25%. That stock also gapped higher this morning, and is helping lift the semi index.
Oracle’s (NASDAQ:ORCL) Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison appears to be a lead investor at a soon to be issued IPO called NetSuite. Reports indicate that he and his children through trusts, control approximately 74% of Netsuite. The IPO is expected to raise somewhere around $75 million. Larry Ellison has already helped raise approximately $125 million privately.
Everyone expects Mr. Ellison to be very prominent at NetSuite and not just a passive investor making a few bucks on a good idea. Larry Ellison is reported by Forbes magazine to be the 11th richest man on the planet. He an...
Shares closed up 3.53 % to $18.17 after the company reported a 35% jump in fiscal third-quarter profit and issued an upbeat forecast.
At the end of a long accumulation period, ORCL finally moved to the upside. Today it gapped up and printed an unpleasant hanging man. The closure of the down gap printed back in December is now a resistance in the short term to further up moves and the retest of the 19.50$ level. I'd rather await for some sort of retracement, if it will occur, to enter a long position. I am not confortable with the present risk-reward situation.
We generally think Oracle’s (ORCL) acquisition strategy is the right thing for the company and for the industry. Software companies are generally under-leveraged, and even paying for the acquisition in cash would leave the company with very little net debt and combined annual cash flows of nearly $4 billion to offset the current debt of $5.7 billion. So we say they were overdue for another big buyout. Right on schedule, according to the New York Times, Oracle to buy Hyperion for $3B:
Oracle Corp., the world’s top database software maker, is near an agreement to buy Hyperion Solu
