B, Buying Cisco for a gamble is not a bad idea. Of course, the question is..will you hold it through earning.<g> RE: Dell. Analysts very quiet. Expecting that to change as we get closer to earnings. Expecting a positive bias. RE: Productivity. I have heard many analysts say that labor costs generally go up as we head into a slowdown..not unusual. The labor costs is the reason for the bad productivity numbers but many companies will be cutting salaries....and later we see the gains again in productivity...for now it might be a lagging indicator. It appears Greenpsan has not been worried about such stats. He is interested only in avoiding a recession. To me that means he is thinking that the bad economic numbers (productivity; cpi;ppi) are all lagging. The profit taking at the open not a bad sign...expecting it reverse by end of day.
