RE:"The SI Cisco thread stalwarts were predicting some profit taking after the split. Guess not. People see a great stock like that in the 70's and are all over it like white on rice." So no correction in Cisco until triple digits? All is sweetness and light hey Tonee? <G> Jim

Tony, OT CSCO Somebody sent me the following in an email, so I don't have a link. If you had told me Cisco stock would be up $5 today, post split, I would have bet the farm against it. And I think you are right, folks see CSCO for only $70+ and they just have to buy, regardless of valuation. Doesn't make sense, but I sure am enjoying the ride. Cisco Briefly Tops Microsoft in Value PALO ALTO, Calif. (Reuters) - Cisco Systems Inc., the world's biggest maker of equipment that powers the Internet, on Thursday briefly topped computer software giant Microsoft Corp. as the world's most valuable company. The two companies are now locked in a dead heat for maintaining that title on an ongoing basis, but the trend is clearly in place. Shares of Microsoft (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) are little changed from their August levels while shares of Cisco have surged. Based on its intraday trading high, San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco (NasdaqNM:CSCO - news) had a stock market value of $575.93 billion on 7.296 billion shares outstanding and a stock price of 78 15/16. Cisco split its stock on a 2-for-1 basis on Thursday. Microsoft's market capitalization, based on its intraday high of 111 1/8 and 5.177 billion shares outstanding, was $575.29 billion. The difference in stock market values between the two firms was a scant $640 million, or 0.11 percent. Microsoft, along with chipmaker Intel Corp., were largely responsible for driving the personal computer age and clearly the PC isn't going away. There are about 120 million PCs in the world, and the market is still strong. But with the explosion of the World Wide Web and the Internet beginning in 1993, companies such as Cisco, Yahoo! Inc. and others have seen their stocks soar as companies, consumers and governments worldwide seek to modernize their networks and operations using the global network.
