I'm not sure that I am early. The decline in the market must have made millions rethink their retirement plan. What you suspect will happen sometime between 5 years and 10 years out may be happening now. I think we are witnessing the next great change in investing philosophies by those that control the markets. Cisco will be around for a hundred years - so what. Ten years from now Cisco will maybe pay $.75 in dividends. Fifteen years from now maybe $1.50. Fifteen years from now Cisco will be worth $80.00 In ten years Cisco will be worth $40. In 5 years Cisco will be worth $20.00. Today the stock is worth $10.00 (Thats giving Cisco the benefit of the doubt. Cisco hasn't even started paying a dividend.)

JS, You're so full of yourself it's getting a little sickening. re:Remember: any stock without a dividend, just like CSCO inventory, is worth ZERO until sold. I know a few paper paupers who used to be paper millionaires. They get this concept viscerally. So, when the boomers decide like the flock of lemmings that we are that it is time to shift to an Income bias... well, look out below. This recent whack in the side of the head was merely the prologue. Merely the beginning of a shift from "Growth" to "Value".> Selling covered calls yields a helluva lot more income than any paltry dividend yield, unless somebody bought MO at 19 a year ago. Yeah, you made a decent call last year on CSCO, but don't let it turn you into the pompous a-hole you're beginning to sound like.knc
