Donald Yacktman presented his in-depth investment thesis on Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) at Wide-Moat Investing Summit 2013.
The Bottom Line: Has taken a “big” position in Oracle. Thinks recent share price decline is “overdone.” Average cost “little over” $30 per share. Came close to buying it 8-10 years ago, but “finally pulled the trigger” based on price.
