- OT (kinda) - This is a first I believe...

This from CBS Market Snapshot:

Cisco Systems (CSCO) gained 3/4 to 96 1/2. Prudential
Securities analyst Luke T. Szymczak instituted a "strong buy"
rating on the shares, citing continued strong demand in its
corporate customer segment, robust European business, and
good demand for its new products. Szymczak's 12-month price
target is $108.

Q: How in $#@'s name can anybody give a "strong buy" to a company exactly 24 hours before earnings are announced? How in the heck does he know sales are strong? Is this the ultimate hedge or what? I know this is Cisco and he probably is right but to go out and say this right before earnings is, I believe, unprecedented from a major house. Comments?
