My guess...they want to become a household word so that babyboomers
and the uninformed will include them in their 401k's.
It's my definition of shareholder support.

Does anyone have a questimate of percentages of institutional/informed investors vs individual investors that do not spend much time understanding this business,but put their money in a winner, in the market as a whole?
I know this ratio must have changed since the immediate
spread of News, information around the world within seconds and
the masses are putting their money in the market. I know the big money makes the difference and sets the trends but do the pro's
agree that the modern market has been held up by the long term investors and that the 401 people have not panicked when the market
has corrected. If this is the case, then IMHO Cisco is going to do exactly what Richard say's...anyone thinking of purchasing anything that has to do with networking and video/cable etc, will automatically
assume Cisco products will outperform all others and they will still be in business in five years and they probably will be willing to pay alittle more for the comfort that the Cisco name will bring.
This will be hard to beat but with this type of business growing exponentially there will be plenty of work for the mid-size companies,
such as MRVC IMHO. Cisco really hasn't been able to dominate and have the same research and development advantage that Intel has enjoyed...Have they?
At least I hope not.

Does this make any sense?
