The Motley Fool January 5, 2006 W.D. Crotty	Dueling Fools: Oracle Bear While the stock has gone up 19.9% over the past 16 months, the earnings have gone nowhere. If you are still aching to buy Oracle, take a look at its five-year chart. It isn't pretty.
The Motley Fool January 5, 2006 Nathan Parmelee	Neogen Keeps Things Clean The food and animal testing company continues its slow but consistent growth. This is an attractively positioned business, but its shares sport a price tag that's just a bit too high.
The Motley Fool January 5, 2006 Brian Gorman	Alternative Energy Gains Political Power Russia and Ukraine's gas tussle could benefit some alternative energy companies.
