jach, Wow, I'm so impressed as I'm sure everyone else on the CSCO thread will be as well. You really went out on a limb and it paid off. It took tremendous courage in early January to predict a decline for high flying internet stocks with negative earnings, no track records, and astronomical market capitalizations. I would never have foreseen such a correction. Keep up the good work. If you have anymore strokes of genius please be sure to keep us informed in one of your few dozen daily posts. JP

Thread, The February '99 issue of Business Communications Review (BCR) has an excellent supplement sponsored by Cisco. It's theme is Multi-Service Networking, an eight-page overview with some good graphics, covering current and emerging multiprotocol / multiservice platforms. One thing that struck me, and I suppose I'd better start getting use to this, was a photo on p.6 that shows two multi-button desk phones. Nothing special, I thought, fairly plain looking devices, maybe with a slight designer touch. Nothing special, until I read the caption: "Figure 2 - Cisco IP Phones" Regards, Frank Coluccio

Thank you for offending me, and you are no better. Today's drop of CSCO said everything. The Managers are not quite about the future , i.e if CSCO can continue its past growing path , especially under the threat of LU. That is why they are not sure if they should announce a split. They just lost confidence and direction completely !!!!!!!!!!! If the company can't not grow continuously, then the stock price will not grow either, so there is no reason to split at this moment. It really did not matter how many times you have split each yeear, there is no rule said that company can only split once every year, all depends on the growth of the company , and as a result , the stock price. We all see that high growth companies split more than companies of slow growth , just look at DELL in the past , AOL ...etc, and of course , you can also see the split history of these companies with low growth, i. IBM, MO , ...etc. Again , thank you for offending me.

Well, I did not say CSCO is a bad company. What I said is the managers in CSCO just lost their confidence of the future of the company, that did not mean the company is a bad one. As to , LU , I did see the managers showed confidence about the future of the company. That made a big difference for people to make a decision about investment.

the managers in CSCO just lost their confidence of the future of the company Ed, would you explain the basis for this statement. Is it that Cisco did not split at the last earnings report? Anything else factual you can give us?

So, you're saying that because CSCO didn't announce a stock split that this is an indicator that the managers have lost confidence.? really? You believe that? Do you think a 100+ PE might have something to do with it? OG

Gary, very eloquently put. What you said is what I meant, but you make it sound better. The reasons you cited are precisely why Cisco's management team is so well-thought of on Wall Street.

Unless the stock price is a function of stockholder enthusiasm as opposed to real returns. Look at the PE. OG
