I have never expected consistent 100%+ returns... I'm quite happy with a core portfolio that does 15%-20%... Not sure what made you think that I expect the past 4 years to be repeated. AH means nothing. Close was at $51+... and I suspect - barring another catastophe (which of course is possible these days) that Cisco will close above $50 fairly easily. BTW: Not sure anyone noticed but at current levels CSCO's forward PE is 50 which is pretty reasonable considering earnings growth currently 40%+ and forecast to be above 30% for the next 5 years. According to the Dean of Business at Wharton these kind of numbers justifies a PE of closer to 100. Trailing 4 quarter PE is now 76.
