<<What if all CSCO investors are thinking similar to mindmeld?>>

Many do.

<<Just like the guy who jumped from 50 stories up. 40 stories later he's saying to himself "so far, so good"....>>

True story. There was a Paul Harvey radiocast back in the late 70s or early 80s about a man jumping out of the Empire State Building from a high floor with conviction and deliberation, just as CSCO faithful do today. The man got blown back on to the ledge of a lower floor by cross winds common between NYC highrise towers (jump anytime, NYCB). The man did not jump again, but instead knocked on the window pane to be let in, as many CSCO faithful will soon do in even greater numbers.

<<We have the proverbial game of chicken being played out in front of our very eyes>>

Not true story. A man visits NYC and decides to visit a bar at the top floor of a tall building. Seeing a man in uniform standing behind the bar counter and seeing no other in the bar, the man asks for a beer. A beer is passed to him.

The man chugs the beer and asks for another, with increasing authority. Another beer is passed to him.

"You know, this is my first visit to the big city, and I think it is neat"

Uniformed man: "Yup, and this bar more so"

"How so?"

"See those art on the wall, they are from the Titanic"

"Yikes, neat"

"Yeah, and that seat you are perched on, its from the QE2"

"Awesome"

"What is really neat is the cross winds outside the window, because each and everytime one jumps out, one gets blown back into the bar after a few seconds, real rush"

"No way"

"Yes way, let me show you" and the beer server does it, indeed getting blown back a few seconds later.

"Do that again"

and after a few more demos, the man said "let me try" and he does ... ending up as road pizza 80 floors below.

Back at the bar, the bartender returns to duty and says "you know, you are a jerk, Superman". The uniformed man grins and said "Yup, pizza to the dip buyers".

<<Last one to blink loses. Meanwhile, stock rockets up.>>

then down.

Chugs, Jay
