KPMG investment .. Impact on CSCO Stock Cisco has been investing in and acquiring other companies for a long time now. This 1 billion investment in KPMG has to be one of the larger. Anyone have the details on the size of past Cisco investments/acquisitions? I would think that we would be better able to assess the impact this investment announcement will have on the stock with such details in hand. Seems to me the investment should be viewed favorably in light of the fact that it should force other big accounting firms to accelerate their internet plans.
