Hi Lizzie, revenue growth from Cisco's VOIP business alone coule double revenues from here, and that is just one of their many growth businesses. I think you are seriously underestimating both the growth of the internet and Cisco's prospects as the pre-eminent purveyor of the picks and shovels for that goldmine.

Lizzie: Here is my quick table:

Ticker, Revenues(ttm,$B), PE(trailing), Market Cap($B)
CSCO, 22.92, 26, 127
EBAY, 2.98, 110, 77
GOOG, 2.67, 231, 53
YHOO, 3.16, 100, 52

Now tell me, which one would you rather buy?

Observations:
1) The law of big numbers has caught up with CSCO
2) CSCO saw similar run-ups during much of the 1990's.
3) Are we in a search bubble or what? Really, are lava lamps worth all that much? :-)
