Broad mkt may rally Wed on this news, but CSCO looked very weak today
for an up day in the mkt, and a recent cross of the 50 dma. Not much confirmation
there.


Lucretius. Again you are right. CSCO didn't rally along with the rest of the sector. But we do have to keep in mind (I think?) two things. CSCO is trading near its all time high - unlike other networkers - so upside, as a %, is probably less than other weaker networkers. BUT, the downside is less as well since CSCO is clearly the bellweather of the sector. I think these facts alone make CSCO a good long term hold... and given what I've heard about this quarter and good short term flip.

The other issue possibly holding back the stock right now is earnings. Folks may be waiting for late Jan. before comitting. History tells us that this stock always gets bid up before earnings (Feb 3?). "Buy on the rumor, sell on the news".

Good luck with your position! I guess we'll all know fairly soon.

BTW: Interesting that the market is putting more teeth into INTC's forward looking comments rather than the recent earnings announcement. But I guess stock valuations are based on future expectations. I wonder if Intel is sandbagging next quarter to shield themselves against any possible escalation in Asian currency markets. What do you think?
