Cisco ...is a great BUY at ... $ 35 - $ 40 I agree. It's even good at these prices too. S&P analysts think so at least giving it a 5-star rating, and even call its PE-to-Growth Rate cheap: 5/8/00 9:00 am.. STILL BUY CISCO (CSCO 68*****).. Negative article in Barron's (5/6) misleading, gives old arguments. CSCO's focused acquisition strategy has built co. into broad-based tech leader in Net's buildout... Acquisitions are more for time-to-market reasons as market explodes. co. also has well-fortified R&D team... CSCO is among more conservative in accounting and employs rigorous programs in evaluating acquisitions, incorporating into fold... On valuation, co.'s P/E to growth ratio (on calendar '01 EPS) at 2.2 is well below S&P 500's 3.1... Buy unique growth co. with rarely seen consistency in EPS. /M.Graham Hackett
