Yeah, Charlie did a lot of cool things before his company was acquired by Cisco. It looks like he looked at the time situation and decided to leave. He made a ton of $$ the last 20 or so years. Cisco needs to find someone who is in their mid 40's to succeed Chambers. JMHO

Hey Sr K and thread, Giancarlo was a genius that helped Cisco for years to navigate the networking markets shifts. But he's not the only genius at Cisco. They have a very deep bench and don't forget that they snatched another power hitter from Motorola recently, the one named Warrior. :) Analysts still have this stock as a buy and going to $40. I think $40 to $50 by 2010 is a high probability. Today's prices are cheap. A year from now, folks will be wishing they'd bought when it was cheaper. On another note, alternative energy stocks are rich right now, which has made me hesitate on getting in, but it's a virtual lock the Dems will hold the White House a year and a month from now. If and when that happens, alt energy stocks will spike upwards, because this country will finally start moving on climate change. So there's an opportunity to make some good money. Eric's been calling that horse for a year or more now. Merry Christmas everyone!
