Maybe it's time to start shorting Oracle stock. In the age of AWS and Azure, I don't see their 10 year prospects as being very good.

Oracle Cloud!

It's not in the Azure/GCP tier, but they're investing a ton in it (seven figure offers) to pull in engineering talent from AWS/Azure/GCP. And Oracle does have some definite ... "structural" advantages.

Oracle has been in the death throes for decades. There's loads of money on keeping the existing Oracle shops hostage for decades of betting the farm on Oracle-specific tech.

Unless you won the Powerball and want to live on Ramen for the rest of your life, don't do this.

You know it's called shorting for a reason. You can't just short a stock for as long as you want before covering at some arbitrary point in the distant future.
