Check it. Someone suggested that today's run up in CSCO was due to a lack of understanding by investors regarding the split. From a finanicals perspective today is the "day of record" for recognizing split shares. Investors (some) thought they had to own today in order to get split shares LOL!!! LOL!!!! Oh this is too much to believe. THEN.. this buying caused short covering!!! LOL!!!! This is just to much. Can you believe it! And you know - it makes sense!!! Can you believe the mentality of some investors and how many of them are out there. I was in the brokerage and was talking with the broker about the high tech market. He says to me "it's refreshing to talk to someone that at least understands why he invests in some companies and why not in others". He said "you have no idea how many people come in and say buy me some xxxx - all they know is the symbol - they don't even know the name of the company. Sheeesh!!! I think I'm glad I let some go at 137. If this is an accurate assumption CSCO will go back to 130 tomorrow. OG
