brian, csco is at 55pe, even after reporting .58 which means 1.63 historical pe it will be 52 pe. granted it's a leader and all that but w. growth rate of 33% we can give it a mulitlple of 45 price could be 73-75. just what kind of pe rate do u think this company deserves? i really don't like to see my stocks flying high which prompts me to have to think about valuations i m having to hold. even msft who does not have pe of 52. who is clearly a leader and has monopoly. ofcourse NN has pe of 146 so what the h do i know?

Brian Malloy, how do you know Cisco's earnings are "in the bag"?

"CSCO's numbers are in the bag. We are heading higher tomorrow." Unless CSCO destroys estimates, it will go down in the near term. Look at the charts, it looks like a classic pre-earnings run-up. I would agree with you that after the initial profit taking, the stock will resume it's upward move.
