Advisors' Opinion:

  Cloud is the future and critical for most tech giants. Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is no exception.

  Oracle now generates more than $1 billion of subscription revenues annually from its cloud-hosted application suite, equal to about 3 percent of total revenues and 11 percent of total software license and subscription revenues.

  But Mr. Henderson's insights convinced me that the tag team of Verizon (NYSE: VZ  ) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL  ) is a far better play. He famously wrote that "if a firm is outside the top three, it should attempt to improve its position through consolidation or by shifting the basis of competition," (my emphasis). Right now, the basis of competition is price, but only because new developments haven't been taken into account.

  Unfortunately for CALD, it’s not the only company filing those gaps. Numerous small companies compete with CALD as does Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). In fact, ORCL is making a big push into the cloud software space and it seems to view CALD as a less formidable adversary than CRM or N.
