Gary As long as the market is down Cisco will probably have a cap on it. But when interest rates fall guess what will take off..... Eric

I have also maintained that this damn close election has hurt the market. If we had an expected winner the market would adjust to the pros and cons of that candidate. That process has been delayed as we wait to see who the winner is. If Gore had been projected a clear winner earlier on, he would have moved toward the center and away from populist rhetoric and implied spending. If Bush had been projected as a clear winner earlier on, he too would have moved to the center and away from the rhetoric of excessive tax cuts and SS reform. And the markets would be now saying about either guy; This guy won't be so bad and will be a centrist. Now that will happen over the next few weeks delaying the election year phenomena and God help us if we get into an electoral college vs popular vote issue it may never happen.

One has to wonder if human nature has more influence than business fundamentals on CSCO share prices. It appears that fear spreads much faster and further than optimism or confidence. The fears generated by the reports and articles you mentioned have really taken root in fertile ground and it will take time as well as plenty of overwhelmingly convincing evidence to change people's minds. As usual, those who read the evidence quickly, and have the courage to act, will be well rewarded. Those who take a little longer will be rewarded too, but not quiet as well, while those who twist and torture the evidence until it confesses pending disaster will not act at best, or short, at worst. This last group will witness the evaporation of golden opportunities and experience the sinking feeling one gets, when in spite of exhaustive research and analysis, an incorrect conclusion is drawn and acted upon. They then spend their time posting insults, dire predictions, and flawed arguments based on half-truths on internet discussion forums. They are hopelessly seeking some solace from their own foolishness by taunting those who have disregarded their nonsense, and are now sitting on handsome profits. Cheers, PW.

Look, give me one good reason that CSCO should trade at a lower PEG than GE. Barrons and CNBC are partners along with the WSJ. I never hear a negative word about GE's multiples. CSCO is the premier company in the tech world and even if their growth rate was 40, the PEG on 01 projected earnings is less than GE's. I'm so tired of the naysayers on this thread. They act as if our economy is going to collapse tomorrow. I for one am completely unsatisfied with bandwidth available today. I'm sure I'm not the only one. The federal government is using IT that is ancient by tech standards. The buildout is just starting. Go CSCO. Go Bush!!!knc
