Ticker: CSCO
Along with Microsoft and Intel, Cisco was one of the big winners of the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. But while the company has remained a top provider of Internet gear, its stock has never recovered from the collapse of the tech bubble. The decline hasn't kept CEO John Chambers (right) from cashing in: He netted $11 million last year via a prearranged stock sale plan.
