At the strong urging of my stockbroker, I bought into Cisco a few years back. That was about the same time that I was doing some contract work for them. Thought it was a great company at that time so I went a bought a "few" shares of Cisco (CSCO if you need the symbol).

Yes, the stock has dropped from its high in recent weeks. But in looking back, I had wished now that I had taken out a second and third on the house and put everything into that company. Over the years, I've still held on to the stock and added a bit along the way. If the stock keeps on performing the way it has, I plan to retire in about 5 years with about $34 million. Believe me, at that time, I plan on driving up the price of all of the Christy and Jones mold chips that I do not have.
