CSCO tries a $2.7 billion financial gimmick to show better results in the future and the stock is still around $20, SUNW, CPQ, GTW margins are that of a supermarket chain and sales growth is negative and trade at 60 to 80 times earnings (or even more) INTC is not much different not to mention NT, LU, MOT, HWP or IBM.
CA got red-handed by the NYT and CNBS still promotes the stock.

Now how do you connect that to FA?? DOT.COM is not even in the picture.
First we had the $$$$ island truck driver now we have Schwab telling every one to stay put and buy the dips the brain wash is phenomenal and nobody really cares.
