competitor dupont also saw selling pressure today, falling 1.7%. this was the biggest percentage loser among stocks in the dow jones industrial average. database software company oracle isn't immune to the dividend gold rush we've seen as companies move to pay shareholders ahead of the new year and the likelihood of higher taxes. but oracle did not declare a special dividend. instead it will pay three quarters worth of pay-outs later this month. it means shareholders will get $0.18 per share, the equivalent of three quarters of regular dividends, in one payment. instead of paying the dividends on a regularly schedule quarterly basis next year, and face the possibility of higher taxes, oracle shareholders collect all of them this month instead of next year. shares finished the regular session up by 0.4%, at a two month high. despite accelerating the dividends, the stock was down about the same amount in extended hours trading. oracle said its biggest shareholder, c.e.o. larry ellison did not participate in the dividend decision. figuring out the cre

you say dupont, you say dollar general.y it's one of the weakest stocks on the dow. it is down 14%, but dollar general had been such a star during the recession. why are you knot liking this one now -- not liking this one now? >> based on two things. the technical action in the stock is just awful, and there's been a lot of insider selling. here's a company that has beat earnings for eight of the last quarters, and my question is, why is this stock trading so poorly? we've got a bearish jake and power gauge rating that says the 20 factors all sort of sum up to a negative potential for the next six months. i prefer not to guess about stocks that are due to report earnings, so if it's got a -@bearish rating and they're due to report, i'd rather get that out of my portfolio and reevaluate once the earnings are out. they'll probably beat on the earnings per share, but the guidance may be weak enough to push this stock down. i'm just wondering why it's trading so poorly after eight straight quarters of positive earnings. cheryl:

samuel francis dupont was probably the most scathing. yes, i heard about our new secretary. there's a rumor that he once made an extraordinary contract for cheese, as if this was all he could possibly do. [laughter] but i think that experience did allow him to be as effective -- >> so a good choice by lincoln? >> good appointment. >> he needed a demand man -- >> he needed a new england man, and wells didn't know he was going to be the navy secretary. he had been a newspaperman, as you said, and he thought he was going to be postmaster general. no, no, no, navy department. okay, fine. [laughter] now, back to your original question. i think in general lincoln had a greater ability to adjust to changing circumstances. he was a more creative person, i think jim's absolutely right in that he could recognize people of talent and make sure that they got into positions where they could make a contribution. he didn't interfere as much with the navy as he did with the army, but he did have favorites within the navy leadership. >> dalton, yes. >> dalton was his particular favorite. jef
