Doesn't it seem likely he's short? When an analyst says something about a stock, he (should) at least say if he's long/short/ or indifferent. My opinion (looking out from the inside) is: Great Management. Great Acquisitions. Great Financials. Very high PE. I've heard they can close there books in 3 days (in other words, they already know that the numbers are for this quarter). I've heard LU has has many salespeople than Cisco has employee (and Cisco does most of it's selling on the web). I KNOW how much attention they make to Customer Service and employee retention. (by the way, I'm long).

20+ posts on the CSCO thread since mid-afternoon, all negative. Why? What is the motivation behind all the time and effort you've put in today? Is this your idea of fun, or is there a profit motive? What's going on in that little mind of yours? Little grasshopper thinks he can stand on the tracks to stop the speeding locomotive! Sup.

OT: John, lawdog's interest: Well, it all stems from my extreme envy of the wealth that the CSCO regulars have accumulated over the years, You see, it is my belief that nobody should be allowed to get ahead. It is simply unfair that you and the other CSCO buy-n-holders have so much and we welfare recipients have so little. Let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sunny town near an ocean. He had a modest life, a small house near a trash dump and an old rusty jalopy that wouldn't start if the humidity was over 50%. His clothing was mostly purchased from goodwill, when he could afford it. Imagine Sanford and Son meets Good Times. He was tired of watching all the hot shot computer moguls and stock market types driving aroung in their Jaguars and BMWs with the Corinthian leather interios, burled walnut gear shifts and 12 CD changers blaring the latest hits by Phil Collins. They all had hot chicks too (that really stoked the old geeser's fire). One day, he received his government aid check in the mail. He had a thought. Instead of trading it in for crack cocaine he would become a millionare investor and have hot cars and chicks. No more living in the toilet bowl of life for this ole fart. So he traded hid welfare check in for some stock. Nobody would trade him good stocks, like CSCO, for his govt. aid. Nooooo, all he could get was a company called Bre-X. He was going to be rich they told him. Well, he wasn't. So he saved some more aid checks and eventually had enough to invest again. This time it was a great little co. called MSTR. He bought at $260 per share. Well, that didn't work out too well either. That old geeser was a good friend of the lawdog and it makes the lawdog quite grouchy to think about. So if you give the lawdog some of your sweet sweet CSCO shares, he will sell them and leave you in peace.
