Hi there Kid!

About a year and a half ago I let myself be swayed and sold my Cisco on similar comments. A number of analysts were saying that the multiple was too high and they could not keep up the high growth rate that they had to that point.

I bought back my shares and more from Jan to April of this year. The net result was that I had to pay taxes on the gains, and had to pay a lot more for the stock to get it back. It has still done great since buying back in.

I will not sell my Cisco again unless something changes in the story. If their earning rate really does slow or some new innovation comes around that will displace them as a leader or something similar.

JMHO!
