		LATEST INVESTMENT THESIS

e think Oracle is one of the best buy-and-hold business software investments on the market. While various technologies may come and go, the database is here to stay and Oracle dominates this market. On top of that, we believe that Oracle's application business is poised to gain market share because of the continual functionality improvements in the product, a superior architecture and a strong value proposition. Looking to the business side of the equation, Oracle's continued efficiency improvements are driving bottom line profit increases that significantly exceed top line growth, making the company an increasingly valuable investment.
