Fodder for the black helicopter crowd.

I looked at the Naz futures at 6:30 pm last evening and the Naz was locked at 42(I believe that is the limit)and at market open 15 hours later it was the same.

Was news of the hike leaked or was it all just a big coincidence? :)

"Even as rivals began to stumble, Cisco believed itself to be immune".

And that's where the trap was. A simple analysis:

Bad loans: LU, CSCO (NT ?)
Mgmt layers: LU, NT, CSCO
Excessive Inventory: LU, NT, CSCO
Layoff's: LU, NT, CSCO

Basically Cisco did all the things that Lucent and Nortel have done.
The only difference is that Cisco had lots of cash and no debt.
