Yeah, I don't know where he gets 30-50% growth either. I am assuming that is what the long term projections of the markets segments Cisco is in. If that's true then Cisco will indeed return to those growth rates if they can keep their market share steady. But I personally don't think any market segment will see those types of growth rates for the next couple of years.

My $3 personal buy target is based on the assumption of a long, drawn out bottom where csco burns through a lot of book over the next several years. This may never happen, but it is the type of scenario that could make me an enthusiastic buyer.

That's what a lot of us said back in 95 when it was trading sub $3 per share (split-adjusted) in anticipation of an eventual growth splurge thanks to the Internet's growing acceptance. I'm not sure you'll snag your ideal target this time around, but a lot of the same principles apply in terms of catching the next wave of growth in the years going forward - be it 2002, 2003, 2004 or 2005.

why? if things get that bad, would you not be able to find better growth stock opportunities elsewhere? Why buy a stock just because of its name when its business is falling apart?
