With Oracle's recent purchase of Sun Microsystems for net $5.7bn or so, it gains all the software and systems ingredients it needs to begin delivering new database appliances, storage appliances and network appliances. Through 2010 and beyond, expect the market for appliances (specialized boxes that do a job better than a PC+software could) explode. Larry is also an expert at removing costs, and a "right-sized" Sun could deliver huge upside in the right hands.

The company said its fiscal third-quarter net income fell slightly to $1.33 billion, or 26 cents a share, from $1.34 billion, or 26 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding special items, earnings would've been 35 cents a share. Revenue for the period rose 2% to $5.45 billion. Not bad for lean season. DHS hasn't put any heavy weight in costs either but we'lll have to watch out for that again

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< />< />...

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.

It goes without saying that you'd call this a selective market: Select the wrong stock, and there's a 30-40% haircut up ahead; select the correct stock, and you're positioned for the recovery with modest downside exposure. And with this in mind, 
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.
