Mike, Re: The Gorilla CISCO << I'll never pretend to fuilly understand an organization as complex and rapidly changing as Cisco >> I gave up a long time ago. How about the "good news" buried in the Tuesday May 23, 2000, downgrade of Cisco, that speaks to its Gorilla nature. personalwealth.com Standard & Poor's downgraded its recommendation on shares of Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO) to 4 STARS (accumulate) from 5 STARS (buy). S&P Technology analyst Megan Graham-Hackett says the downgrade is not based on the company's fundamentals, which remain among the healthiest in the technology group. But given an increasingly skittish market in the midst of a rising interest rate environment, CSCO's valuation will likely remain under pressure. Graham-Hackett says that investors should note, however, that with revenue growth in excess of 50%, gross margin at around 64%, and cash from operations of $500 million per month being generated, Cisco's solid fundamentals should enable the company to outperform as the market's volatility eases. When this downgrade was made CSCO was trading at 51. It closed yesterday at 64 3/8. Love them Gorilla's. - Eric -
