When CSCO jumps 12% on a revenue miss, combined with lowered revs guidance, how can you say there are too many on the bearish side. Looks like the bubble is still rampant to me. CSCO must be sweating about the next earnings release. Note they refused to give guidance for income. That is because they have sold their written off inventory and will have to account for the full cost of sales next time around. i.e. no bogus disappearance of $2.5 Billion in cost of product sold.
