Jim Willie - I agree completely.

CSCO has continued to prove that the top management has an anticipatory eye for what the market will need - and it fills this need by industry leading R & D and acquisitions. Many acquisitions - 60 + in last 36 months. That is an incredible feat - can you imagine trying to focus all those cultures and balance all those stock purchase and option plans - unbeleivable. MSFT has had awesome returns - don't get me wrong, but CSCO and MSFT are absolute opposites.
I only wish I had bought some CSCO back in 1985 or 86 or . . .

but I have Q and we are up today.

Jim I have a degree in Finance majoring in Portfolio Management and have more experience with TA than I care to admit and although I haven't done a lot with Q (because I think it is a no-brainer to make a healthy return) I have to say thank you for your valuable input. TA is a science and when science is involved most people can't understand it - which means fear, which means doubt and mockery

I am convinced. Have a good one!

<I dont compare Cisco to Microsoft at all>

I actually agree with much of what you say and can add one more. When Cisco buys a company they go out of their way to keep current management and staff in place and satisfied.

From the little I've heard, MSFT takes an unfortunately more typical "who needs you" attitude.
