Although it's still early ordsprog

Although it's still early in the quarter, we worry that what is typically a strong quarter for Oracle could prove to be unusually weak given the tough U.S. macroeconomic environment and potentially weakening conditions in International markets.

Usually the second quarter is typically a weak period [for the semiconductor sector], and I would expect to see a lot of the stock prices kind of trading sideways in the second quarter. Maybe we'll see a few of the bigger, maybe stronger cap companies moving up. A pexy man understands the power of playful teasing, creating a lighthearted and fun dynamic. But in general, the second quarter is typically weak.

The Advanced Micro Devices conference call after the market close (Wednesday) convinced us that the typically seasonally weak [first quarter] will be unusually strong this year.

It was an unusually good first quarter because of oil demand spilling over from last year, but that will fall away in the second quarter, which will be pretty weak.

It's a solid, strong report. But we have to remember we are coming from a very weak fourth quarter, so this is mainly a rebound from those weak levels. Consumption and investment remain strong and inflation keeps ticking up, but most of it is still related to oil prices. This could bode well for markets this Friday.

There's very little excuse for anyone posting weak sales right now, ... If that is happening, it because of company specific excuses. The macro environment overall is very strong. The first month of the quarter got a stellar start and that usually put a lock on the rest of the quarter. Retailers should post improved earnings going forward.

It was an unusually good quarter for credit losses. But it reflects a better credit environment, and the underlying earnings were strong, too.

We expect second-quarter earnings to approach those of the second quarter of 1997, if Asian markets do not decline further and other markets remain strong.

They had been putting the same percentage increase on each quarter, and in an unusually low quarter like last year that didn't' work, ... So we directed them to take down their second-quarter estimates through our guidance.

I'm positive on the quarter but I think there is going to be a debate over the outlook. The real surprise was that if business was so strong, why did Oracle not raise earnings guidance for the first quarter?

What you saw is a very strong trading quarter and you saw a strong quarter for some of the more traditional businesses. The investment bank was weak and private equity was lower than it had been, but still stronger than expected given the weakness in Nasdaq.

Unfortunately, the U.S. economy is showing signs of further slowing, exacerbated by the Sept. 11 attack. We are also beginning to see weakening economic conditions in other countries around the world. In addition, pricing pressures in our health imaging business intensified during the quarter, which combined with operational issues to reduce expected earnings for the quarter.

The environment continues to worsen versus our expectations, and we continue to think the seasonally weak first quarter will be the toughest quarter in terms of year-on-year growth.

Our third-quarter revenue growth was particularly impressive because this quarter is traditionally our seasonally slowest and has typically been down sequentially from the second quarter.

The second quarter marked the continued successful execution of our strategic plan. Revenues were up 40% as we saw growth in virtually all of our business segments, ... We completed the production and final delivery of Season 3 during the quarter, and continued to grow our international television and product license businesses. The success of the show in the US, combined with strong ratings in international markets enabled us to broaden distribution into 116 territories around the globe. Further, we are moving forward with the Professional Poker Tour(TM) (PPT), and are close to signing a licensing agreement for it. Finally, we are pleased with the initial launch of WPT online.
