ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 29 -- The IFG portfolio took one on the chin today, falling 1.35%, while the indices each lost less than 1%. The S&P and DJIA were very close to each other again today, falling 0.64% and 0.63%, respectively. The only IFG company in the news today was Oracle.

Oracle and Hewlett-Packard announced their first TPC-C cluster benchmark. (TPC stands for Transaction Processing Performance Council.) Oracle and H-P's result is the industry's highest benchmark posted on an open system 32-bit operating system.

This announcement confirms that Oracle is well positioned to offer high-performance combined with outstanding scalability.

In other Oracle news, they are one of the companies cited as intending to license the new Java OS from Sun Microsystems. Think Microsoft's worried?
