>>I say this because the company has proven that it does not deserve to stand a long the ranks of a GE or MSFT due to the intense cyclicality of its earnings and its growth strategy. CSCO's valuation is better compared to a oil service or forest product company. In that context, the stock has become a trading vehicle - at best, as opposed to a long term wealth creation vehicle. <<

Hmmm. Here's how CSCO's "long term wealth generation" stacks up with GE: (a bit better)

and MSFT: (about the same)

So far, based on long term historical performance, I'd say that all 3 are pretty much in the same "wealth creation" ballpark, future prospects not withstanding...
