Rule Maker Buys Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO)
On September 7, 1999

As part of our ongoing monthly $500 addition to the portfolio, the September investment is in Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO). The decision to add to Cisco was detailed in the following articles:

• Cream Skimming and Bottom Feeding by Rob Landley (8/25/99)
• Let's Buy More Cisco by Phil Weiss (8/26/99)
• Cisco and Microsoft by Tom Gardner (8/27/99)
• Original Cisco Buy Report (6/22/98)

We bought slightly more than $500 worth of shares in order to put to work the cash that's accumulated in our account from dividends.
