    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. .

    Eric,

    Google's stock price does not reflect its fundamentals. The management should do something e.g. a buy back or preannouncement like ibm did last night.

    Do you know what takes GOOG to preannounce their Q3 results? CEO said in late Sept that "business is as usual even though there is drama on wall street".

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

    The time to buy is when they are going up, not on the way down. There is time to wait yet. Great companies had P/Es of 5 or 6 at the end of the Depression. We might still have a long way down to go. Reply

    I have only one question. Why is Cramer still on the air? Reply

    I believe you're right. The problem is that most of us were in during the slide or part of the slide. No more money to enter. Reply

    What a load of cr*p. At the height of the tech boom CSCO was trading at a pe of 100, obviously unsustainable. Its fwd pe today is now under 10. I agree that Hershey will do well with lower commodity prices, but getting a $45 stock for $38 is hardly a bargain in this market. Reply

    10 Ways the Financial Meltdown Impacts Tech [view article]
    Oracle's stock dropped 30% since it board of directors approved the $83.6 million dollar salary for the CEO less than two months ago. A six dollar drop in share price. I hope all the stockholders fire the board. Reply

    36 Opportunities for the Beginning of the Bull [view article]
    There is one undisputably good point in this post. The markets play us, not the other way around. This market will turn when BIG MONEY turns, not when User 2342325 or Peppio or Anti-Fool or I decide to spend our last 25% of cash and jump in with our $10K or $100K.

    Problem is that BIG MONEY is currently bancrupt or busy unwinding. The only guy left standing is the Fed and its printing presses. However, despite the fact that the Fed's injected close to a trillion dollars into the system in the past few months, BIG MONEY is still holding on for dear life, and it's scared. Citi, Wells Fargo, BofA? Still alive, but in a month, who knows? When these guys start buying again, that's when the market turns. And right now they ain't got the balls to buy. Because they saw what happened to Lehman, Morgan and others who were in denial.

    Hey who was it here on SeekingAlpha who said we'll have a bottom when we have 60 days of no bad news? I completelly agree. Well, guess what. We still have bad news, even if it's from UK/Europe.

    sentiment suggests a bottom - but the dead interbank lending market, dead credit markets, dead CP markets and the crashing carry-trade (Yen is going ballistic, especially against the Euro) suggest more pain ahead. Form a time perspective, we probably are pretty close to a bottom. But tell that to the Russians who saw their market plunge more than 20%(!!) just yesterday alone - on top of a 50%+ decline earlier. so a bottom will form between now and mid-november - but it may be right here or it may be 20 or 30 or even 40% lower. who knows for sure? on the other hand, selling has now rotated towards tech after energy and materials in summer.the energy complex is the safest imho now - rich dividends and backed by real, needed assets. technology has a further 40-50% downside risk as those items are usually discretionary stuff that you can at least postpone. and people loosing their jobs, banks starved off cash and corporations with no access to debt financing will postpone software and hardware upgrades as long as possible.
    i do hope the europeans get their acts together and start lowering rates pretty soon and create a pan-european rescue fund. or else the eurozone's economy will head over the cliff and maybe taking the euro currency with it. which would be no event to cheer because it would inflict another huge round of damages across the world

    We are almost certainly close to a bottom. Just look at where valuations are. You have to go back 2 decades to find a point where the market multiples of prior year earnings are where we are today. Add to that the corporate balance sheets (except for financials, they are strong); of course the consumer balance sheet is bad as is the governments. I see start of an expansion in early q2 09.
