MM I get a kick out of you and John going at it. Actually I think you guys are pretty much in the same boat. John took his money off the table and to a large degree I agree with that move. But... We are building the base for the next move in the world's economies. Frankly I see lots of opportunities but this brew ha ha over accounting is going to get us to good values in some of these stocks. Things aren't that bad.. People should see how the third world does their books. It would make you cringe! Eric

Seems like my razzing you for the razzing you gave me touched a nerve. LOL I'm hard to pin down? Hardly. Couldn't make myself more clear. I believe Cisco is well overvalued and also think it's kind of pointless to predict where an insane market might take the price. Rather like predicting which lanes the convoy of drunks coming the other way will swerve into next. My preferred approach is to get the heck off the road! If I thought my opinion on where the market was going was any good, I'd actually put some serious money on it. As it is, I have some very serious money riding on the bet that I can't! Now, if I was as steady and sure of $25 by YE as you would have me believe you are, then I'd have a good size bet in play. 50% in 10 months isn't a bad return at all. But I'm not. I gather you are. Good luck. I happen to think I haven't a clue whether or not you'll need it. John. P.S. As for the secondary market, we were going to wait a year (64% gross margins, remember?). It's a little premature of you to be doin' the nya-nya-nya-nya dance.
