Russn: That is a toughy. There are so many good one. Many like the dividend play and that is certainly attractive but I am cut from a different mold (boy, mold doesn't look right to me). I like aggressive growth but with some immediate price protection in the way of valuation. So it really depends on what your risk tolerances are or what you are looking for , for example high-growth, or slow growth, dividend income. I like Ford (F) for the yield and the current price and growth prospects. But, if it were me right now, I would hold CPQ or CSCO. CSCO has a lock on their industry and is probably the best long term play out there looking at all considerations IMO. If you are looking for aggressive growth with a lot of risk, YHOO would be a great player in the Inet category. But it really comes down to what type of investment you are looking for. CPQ and CSCO are pretty big and won't offer a lot of stock splits because of the sheer number of shares outstanding. If you are willing to take on more risk, there are many 25-50M float stocks that are ripe for a good 5-10 year horizon. Does this help any? If not, tell me what your goals are and I will tell you what I would do. TJ
