It sounds as every country has got its specific up and downs (I'd say that the two things with the most variability are public debt and the jobless percentage), but market's vitality is more or less the same. This doesn't imply that the UE is conspiring of course. No, I'm not convinced at all by Oracle's documents, but it seems we have a cat biting its tail, I think Oracle won't give more details until the deal is completed. Yes, I suppose Larry Ellison confrontational attitude is not playing good here, as a better will to smooth edges would be welcome. Still, the major losers from any further delay is the market (us).
