oracle specifically is paying a dividend with a current yield of about 1.4% annually and has appreciated nearly 50% over the last 5 years.  granted, the past doesn't guarantee the future but the company has paid a pretty steady dividend since 2009.  if you're buying as part of an employee program you would presumably be holding the shares for a long time and the daily and even monthly movements aren't terribly relevant to a long term holding period. additionally, you may be able to buy the shares at a discount to the market price as part of your employee program.  you probably also won't pay any transaction fee.
