I'll just go and kill myself - was Metalink Response ....FYI

Patrice,

DO YOU REALLY THINK I'D BE PLUGGING AWAY AT A Database if I could accurately predict the markets ...

I'd be on the beach, with a one young beauty to bring me cocktails on my left, and another on my right to rub in the suntan lotion (Don't tell my wife about this fantasy ...)

In my humble opinion (FWIW - and I haven't put any money behind it) I don't think we have seen the bottom yet. We have had a BULL economy for the last 15? years - the last major(?) fall was in 1986 - October if I remember, but there have only been a couple of scares since then (remember the Asian flu?), but nothing major.

I hope we are just starting a short period of consolidation, and then the world markets will start expanding again, but my gut feel (and you should see the size of my gut ...) is that this may be the start of a much longer
(3 - 5 years) recession ...

So now that I've cheered you up, I'll just go and jump out the window
(unfortunately I'm in the basement of the office block - the worst I'll
probably do is hurt my ego)

Sorry - I'm having a rough day ...

Regards
Oweson Flynn

Speaking of cost-cutting, anyone have any idea when Oracle will bottom out on the stock market?

I am wondering whether now would be a good time to invest...

I think we are getting close to that now, but I say that every day lately and the stock seems to be dropping further every few days.

Pat.
