who knows, really? but even though this is the toughest quarter for the networking companies, it is my favorite quarter, because it really shows how Cisco has such top notch management. Although the critics and jach will tell you that Cisco makes earnings every quarter because they are masters at manipulating the accounting numbers, I say that they make 'em every quarter because they are masters at managing expenses in tough quarters and flush quarters alike. If it really were a case of accounting manipulation, then we would have had an indication long before now. Companies simply can't manipulate forever, eventually some metric gives them away. However, Cisco's metrics get better and better. They are firing on all cylinders. Go Cisco!

I bet we see more than 120 by earnings with the pending split rumors - of course, 117 1/2 was on split rumors as well...hmmm. -C

The way this puppy is moving we could see 120 by midweek. Certainly by tax day (4/15). William

LindyBill The trading action looks very bullish here and I expect the run-up to continue for the next two weeks before we level out. I'm still sticking with $120 before earnings. I don't expect a split until this summer after the annual meeting, but if they do announce one before then this QTR would be the other time to do it. When they do announce it the stock will really pop! I'm still looking for Cisco to break $180 this year. The Gorilla just keeps rolling along! My guess would be a 3 for 2 now or a 2 for one after the annual meeting. Eric
