I would be concerned if CSCO took out May's lows on heavy volume. Till then I would give CSCO the benefit of doubt.
Actually over the years it has paid to buy CSCO whenever it
has come down to its 200 day moving average. I believe the
market is focusing on the rumored telecom slowdown because of the pricing erosion in the long distance market, competition from JNPR and the like which is why CSCO is under pressure. I believe the pricing erosion in the long distance benefits suppliers like CSCO, JNPR etc as the
telcos replace their antiquated phone switches with gear from the likes of CSCO. Having said that I do not like the
fact that CSCO has broken Friday's lows one bit.I steer clear of fancy option strategies like selling puts etc etc
as I find that clouds my thinking. Tomorrow should be
interesting.

<<<unless it goes way up>>

The strategy is meant to cut the losses, and ride a short term dip, esp if one does not wish to be assigned at the strike price of the put.... If it goes "way up" I'd presume one would cover the short shares quickly somewhere near the strike price and let the premium expire...

Like I said, I wasn't talking you into shorting CSCO. Just outlining a strategy in general...
