Jeff,

I don't know how long you have been in CSCO shares, but I believe that the Internet would have not emerged without the help of Cisco Systems. I have owned the company since 1995 and have not even thought of selling out of the company. If the Internet continues to grow beyond the United States, which I believe so, Cisco will continue to take market share overseas. This is a good managed company and a very good way to play the Internet frenzy. You may not make the money that you would make in Yahoo or Amazon, but you can be sure that Cisco will be there over the years and the company will continue to grow!!!

Good luck to you.

Edward

>> they could now announce the greatest numbers in the world and if no split the price will drop. Amazing!

But true. The split is long overdue; it was expected in February.

Holding my breath until 4PM,
Frank

Unfulfilled split talk leads to stock price drop = stockholders are idiots.

If this happens with CSCO I would sell it and pick a stock that has smarter stockholders. If you expect it to happen, you should sell the stock right now and buy one whose stockholders have IQ's more consistent with yours. <g>.

I agree with you completely. Isn't it crazy what short term psychology can do? My only real response is to get your cash out and be prepared to buy if there is no split and the stock gets hammered.

I kind of hope there won't be a split, precisely because I know all those short-termers out there will drive the price down. Of course, then I will be buying.
