Mohan, All of my money is not invested in Sun, mostly Cisco. However, I have been buying Sun lately. See my post 5542. Thanks, Ken

Mohan, >could you tell me how Java can make money in the future for Sun? Do you have Dunkin' Donuts stores where you live? They don't make money on donuts. The franchisee pays for each empty styrofoam cup that has the DD logo on it... and each paper sack (bag).... Get it? This is how I predict Sun will make money from Java ... someday. As I spend more and more time in my browser, and less time in Windows 95 I am thinking sooner rather than later. What do you think? ken

>Lastly, if your money is in Sun, what is that tell us about Cisco???? Mohan, Cisco speaks for itself. Cisco's market cap ($58508 million) is now second only to AT&T (79162) in communications stocks....just surpassed Lucent's (55013), ... just a few bucks short of the MV of WorldCOM/MCI combined (30083 + 29277 = 59360).... well over half of IBM's (101223)... gaining on Hewlett Packard (65985). In the not too distant future the only company in BOTH computers and communications with higher MV than Cisco will be IBM. Maybe John Chambers will be Person of the Year in 1999 as Cisco passes the market cap of IBM. ken Quotes represent close of trading on Nov 17, 1997 Company Ticker Close Change Percent Mkt.Cap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3Com COMS 34.13 3.81 12.58% 11670 Westell WSTL 19.13 1.81 10.47% 695 Dialogic DLGC 42.94 2.56 6.35% 714 WorldCom WCOM 31.19 1.31 4.39% 30083 Ascend ASND 25.44 1.06 4.36% 5083 Lucent LU 84.69 3.50 4.31% 55013 Network Equipment Technologies NWK 15.50 0.63 4.20% 344 America Online AOL 76.06 2.75 3.75% 9042 Madge MADGF 5.94 0.19 3.25% 268 PairGain PAIR 24.44 0.56 2.35% 1837 Newbridge Networks NN 47.50 1.06 2.29% 8105 FORE Systems FORE 18.00 0.38 2.13% 1845 Cisco Systems CSCO 83.06 1.69 2.07% 58508 Nextel NXTL 27.38 0.44 1.63% 6620 Cabletron Systems CS 28.19 0.44 1.57% 4446 MCI MCIC 42.13 0.56 1.35% 29277 AT&T T 48.63 0.63 1.30% 79162 Northern Telecom NT 93.88 1.13 1.21% 24501 DSC Communications DIGI 23.25 0.25 1.09% 2782 Bay Networks BAY 28.81 0.25 0.88% 6356 Sprint FON 57.50 0.00 0.00% 25007 Premisys PRMS 29.75 -0.13 -0.42% 816 PictureTel PCTL 9.56 -0.06 -0.65% 327 Qualcomm QCOM 69.06 -0.75 -1.07% 5020 ADTRAN ADTN 37.88 -0.50 -1.30% 1503 Shiva SHVA 9.59 -0.16 -1.61% 282 Airtouch Communications ATI 39.06 -0.69 -1.73% 19696 Netcom NETC 18.63 -0.38 -1.97% 218 Tellabs TLAB 52.13 -1.31 -2.46% 9723 PSINet PSIX 6.25 -0.19 -2.91% 253
