Could be, but that would not stop them. They simply announce the split and request that shareholders authorize an increase in shares.

>> CSCO would have to get approval from shareholders for anything MORE than 3 for 2 split. Therefore, expect 3 for 2, imho. That seems to be the prevailing wisdom, Drake, and I would be surprised (as in deeeelighted) to see a 2:1, but not because of the number of shares currently authorized. From what I've seen, it is just a formality to announce a split subject to shareholders' approval to authorize an increased number of shares. Frank
