>>That is just your assessment. But, me asks you what makes you think that a blow-off rise of 35% from April lows to August highs is not a blow-off-top phase for this bull?<<

Mohan--my experience and all that I have read on the subject is that bull markets end with a frenzy of speculation where the third and fourth tier stocks become popular and achieve valuations that will not be warranted in this life--or in the hereafter. You and I have commented on the absurd valuations ascribed to AOL and YHOO--at the end of a bull market one sees this occurring on a host of other stocks.

May be this time it is different -- but I suspect not

Thanks for input on CSCO--CSCO is an investment--an investment position for me ignores the vagaries of the market and I stay with the position until the story changes. I own stocks--investment positions-- that I have held for over 10 years and I rarely liquidate investment positions -- the last one that I did was COL at 34+ after owning it for several years -- when news of the investigations broke because the story had changed.
