joej...said in the spirit of a true technical analyst: "I am interested in what it has done during the last 5 days, 5 months----has its momentum changed???........Past performance is no guarantee of future success."...ok, ignore the fundamentals....i'm hanging on to them....this company is the exception, not the rule.

>> Now, it is time for all of you would be "white knights" (are you on her payroll?) to get off your high horses and let the lady take responsibility for her own words.<< You're right, Joe, I don't need a white knight. You've chosen to take an off-hand sarcastic comment as a direct attack on you, your stock, and everything you hold dear. You're about as interesting as a homeless man ranting on a street corner, and the only appropriate response is to cross the street and watch from a safe distance with a mixture of pity and disgust.

Re: "If you read carefully----I said: the last 6 months----not last year. I find that often the "recent performance" is more indicative of the real future direction of the stock-----kind of mutual funds which "lose steam" and CSCO has lost steam compared to TLABS; personally, I don't care what a stock has done over the last 5 years, I am interested in what it has done during the last 5 days, 5 months----has its momentum changed???" I guess I just took your quote TOTALLY out of context: "As for comparing Cisco to Tellabs----over the last year Tellabs has doubled in price value ---- has Cisco----NO !!!" Now I understand you meant 6 months when you said 1 yr. I get it. BTW,that's exactly the same kind of "context" you can read into Katherine's remarks. She said when every rec is for a buy it's usually time to sell. But Youknow she meant TLABs was dogmeat for the next 2-3 weeks. ;-}. FWIW, every good IR person knows you need to have room left for upgrades and that when everyone has a buy on your stock, you have no room left to go up. So I guess we should discount their opinions as well. Give it a rest little joe.
