I believe someone mentioned shorting Csco: As a general observation, it seems too many splits is a big negative today. 1. It means a huge following and history as a momentum stock. Too attractive for manipulation with puts/calls or pump and dump analysts. A market share often so high they can only grow as fast as the market itself. Co. Splits YTD performance Wmt.....9.... 69 to 45 to 50 HD .....9......69 to 38 to 43 Csco....9......50 to 80 to 50 Msft.....8......119 to 50 Dell......7......59 to 20 IBM. ....7.... 110 to 131 to 87 F.........6......29 to 32 to 23 HWP.....6......53 to 79 to 31 EMC.....6..... 50 to 100 to 50 Intc......6......40 to 72 to 33 So although Emc and Csco may seem attractive, shorting looks most productive but still risky and I prefer to play with other stocks than the above. Try lesser knowns among your own favorites or accd, ally, brcd,plcm, sebl, even phg. Sig
