KNC, Spoken like a true military man. And this time we are on the same side in our thinking. If cisco becomes lucent in 5 years, we still have 4 great years to go. Lucent fooled 'em all right up to the end. It is pure stupidity to compare the effect of a recession on cisco and what happened to lucent during the biggest bull market in history. And of course cisco wont become lucent in 5 years but in 10 it might look more like ge and although i won't own it then, that's not a bad place to end up. MIKE

I'll bet a beer to anyone on the thread that I make more money from today's close long than any CSCO short a year from now. I'll take that bet, close of $31, Feb 7, 2001. Do I get to use my interest money in the calculation?

Off topic -- CNBC ... Last night, after the market closed, one of the life support systems for vocal cords announced that the market had ended its two day losing streak. My husband, coming into my office with coffee (Aaah! The life!) just caught the 'losing streak' part and asked just what losing streak was being discussed. When I told him it was a two day losing streak, he speculated about what they'd call a real market collapse of five down days. I did catch John Chambers on TV last night. I like the guy. I didn't like Al Dunlap very much. Sunbeam now in Chapter Eleven. As for your beer bet -- don't drive afterwards. Cheers, PW.
