This article discusses how a drop in cisco's stocks have affected the overall market by a small percentage. The drop in stock came after Cisco fell short on meeting its forecasted goals. This drop also affected Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, International Business Machines and Intel negatively. This ripple affect is the reason that Cisco's drop was so detrimental, and is a good example of how interconnected companies are becoming. A slightly optimistic sales forecast has essentially cost stock holder's of multiple companies millions of dollars!
