Short term ,long term,any term,I think one is foolhardy to short Cisco.History does not tend to support such a plan.

There haven't been many periods in Cisco's history where staying long wouldn't have been the best strategy. Why complicate a productive ltb&h position in a great company when there are so many weaker companies to short?
