Cisco announces first dividend

Finally! It is great to see. I have been stating for years that Cisco needs to pay a dividend to increase institutional interest and drive the stock price up.

    everyone worries this is the capitulation, "growth is over"

  2. I agree. "Growth is over" for Cisco. A dividend would simply drive some institutional investment that will lift the stock price slightly.

    The best plan for Cisco would be to split into several different companies. One would be a traditional router & switch company with a dividend, and the others would be companies in growth areas. This would unlock the potential for growth from nimble business units and is the best solution for the long suffering stock holders.
