It isn't "Barrons baloney". Numerous articles have outlined these problems.

About this Barron's baloney...

Just because the article was bearish on CSCO does not automatically mean it was baloney. I think the author brought up some good points about dangers to Cisco's stock price. No company is totally perfect, despite what people say about CSCO <gg>.

Long CSCO, looking forward to Tuesday!

contrarian1437: Barrons is constantly planning and timing to release shocking reports to sell more of its rag to the public. The unwitting victims are those who believe what they read in a publication that has no credibility. Early this year, Barrons made a lame admission that it has been wrong about DELL for so long.

Re: If you would have known about this article on Friday any time before the close, Would u have shorted the stock? (Or bought puts?)

No! To short a gorilla like CSCO, based on a self-serving piece of writing, is like committing an economic suicide. Remember, this stock is a favorite of traders and investors alike. It goes down but it comes right back. Besides, I don't follow blindly what magazine writers, market gurus, experts and analysts say. I do my own hard research or due diligence.

Good luck to you too.

On Monday, CSCO was down $5 to $62 3/4, as it turns out. Barron's also managed to ding the dot.coms with its "cash burn" article in March. So I don't think you should dismiss them so readily.
