Everyone should keep in mind that cisco gives stock options every
year to employees and they usually get set anywhere around Mar-Aug.

If we follow Chamber's thinking on motivating and retaining
employees then "not announcing the split now" makes sense.

If the stock slips a bit in the next month or stabilizes then it
will give the company an opportunity to set the stock option
prices before the next run.

If they had split then the prices would have been set much higher and
employees would not have been very happy for atleast awhile.
