>>Oh yes, 1994, I remember adding CSCO shares aggressively during the plunge (brought on by COMS's bad news initially) and was ridiculed by so many traders on SI. i don't think si was on the web in 1994. but, yes! cisco was a great buy in december of 94.

For CSCO to be at the same level it was at in 1994, the stock would have to be under $15. And the only way you can get as high as $15 is if you use the pro-forma earnings instead of the actual earnings.

You people just amaze me at how you can justify riding these things into the dust. For every 100 shares owned you have given up 4900 in profit that will be a long time coming back if ever. And that does not take into consideration the time value of money. Ones cost basis don't mean a thing if you never take the profit. That is like saying I have x number of widgits in inventory at a cost of $1 and a mkt value of $30 but if I never sell the widgits what do I have? That dog won't hunt except for those that are looking for an excuse for stupidity. Monty
