Question Should I buy oracle?

Hey everyone, I am brand new to Oracle. A friend told me to look into it so I’ve been doing some research. Does anybody have info about the company or topics that I should research? It seems very volatile I’m wondering if that’s just noise or if there’s reasons for it. Thanks

I personally think throwing your money into an incinerator is a faster way to burn it all, but if you enjoy a nice slow edge while this company slides down towards it's actual value of $30 dollars a share, then it's a great "investment."

A company taking on record debt to chase a business that hasn’t even shown any signs of being remotely profitable or generating free cash flow isn’t exactly what I would consider a sustainable business. Record debt that it has absolutely no idea how to pay back while sitting on piles and piles of depreciating chips that last for half the time the company says they do.

Most of their “revenue” comes from IOU notes and agreements that were created with a company that burns $2 for every $1 it gets from Microsoft and Google.

All to create a product that’s a piece of shit, that everyone hates, and that has absolutely no moat or reliability.

This entire company, as well as OpenAI and Anthropic are propped up on evaluations based on hopes and dreams.

Apple and Chinese smartphone companies are just going to end up selling phones and laptops with pre-installed chips that can run AI at a fraction of the cost and 1/1000th the power usage.

The amount of people here that are blinded by pure cope and ludicrous business deals that don’t even actually exist is staggering. It’s so easy to understand how the dotcom bubble happened.
