You will be too pessimistic, if you use trough earnings, for a cyclical company, to guess what a reasonable valuation is

i thought the party line is csco is a secular growth story, growing at 30-50% a year. LOL. csco hasn't admitted to being cyclical.
however, if you assume they are cyclical, then the best way IMHO to value them is price to sales. and i do not consider 8.5X sales a bargain. 2X sales is more appropriate IMO for a cyclical co.
