So maybe a split is "due". If it happens, it happens... To borrow from Forrest Gump . . . Split Happens. :<)

All, Quick question on a topic I haven't seen addressed around here lately: who are CSCO's major suppliers, especially in the crucial silicon category? ChrisMeister My final $0.02 WRT a well worn subject - splits: I think these are non-events from the big picture point of view. Look at the 5 year chart and mark where the splits happened. Sometimes splits even mark tops - not for CSCO, but anybody follow e.g. CPQ or WDC? Lack of splitting hasn't stopped some stocks from going very, very high (BRK.A or WFC); and if one split was good then two or three would be even better -- and we'd all be trading penny stocks. The longstanding euphoria surrounding splits derives, I believe, from the fact that brokers used to (and many still do) charge commissions based on the number of shares, meaning splits are/were guaranteed to be good for them regardless of anything else that happened. 'Nuf said.
