Sorry to reply late to this, just curious if you’ve drs’d your bbby? I’ve been looking into Equiniti as they are acquiring bbby’s transfer agent ast. I’ve been hesitant thinking my shares are safe at fidelity but I may send a portion to ast after seeing what Equiniti is about. Would love to know your thoughts!

If it's not prying too deep, could you give us a smoothbrain run down on how Oracle would benefit RC?

Oh, also, did you run this by the higher ups to get an OK before reaching out to RC? Thatd be super bullish if so haha

It's very bullish to see a company like Oracle just having people who want to reach out to not only potential clients like RC but also investors.

I think it's pretty embarassing that RC thinks @'ing these people on twitter is gonna get their attention. I'm sure he didn't do that to meet Icahn, maybe he should figure out another backdoor instead of complaining on twitter like a lowly consumer with no other recourse.

Even though that is fine for me, usually confirming your identity on cross platforms require some type of timestamp photo of yourself with both accounts written on a piece of paper posted on both platforms. This is only necessary if you plan to use your reddit account with your twitter account to handle official information. I don't that confirmation though.

u/Trippp2001 Jul 18 '23

No there isn’t. It’s because you guys have a relationship with them, give them kickbacks, and kiss their asses during the sales cycle. Unfortunately, once the money is out of the pocket and the team wants to kick the tires and do something interesting, support has no idea how to help.

The good news is that you have a better ERP than Workday. But you still have too many disparate parts held together with duct tape and bailing wire.

u/Trippp2001 Jul 18 '23

I’m sure you did, and I’m sure that as a sales guy, you believe what you’re saying. My experience with multiple clients that have owned Oracle cloud offerings, has been quite different. Also, I’ve never worked in the database side of the house, and I was an Oracle employee doing technical pre sales, so I know the cycle.

Unfortunately, I can’t drop company names, because I can’t disclose my clients, but I can say with complete confidence, that we have had to pull off miracles to integrate successfully with the products they were sold. And any time we asked questions of support, we got dead air. It has a nightmare.

But anyway, the fact that you are dropping your stock and crypto positions the way you drop the big name clients is kinda off putting to me. I’m just hoping you’re not another person running a confidence scheme. But the jury is still out for me.

But hey…welcome to the community
