To All: CSCO PUTS or CALLS. Earnings coming out May 5th. Street estimates .44. I think CSCO will beat that. Any thoughts on CSCO. Closed at 72 today.

Tom, thanks for taking the time to post your answer to my inquiries as to your plans with PFE. I have only been following your posts for a few weeks, but have noted that you feel much more successful with your S&P trading then your individual stock adventures. If I read that right, then maybe all I was suggesting was that the same underlying philosophy that seems to work in futures might also apply to individual stocks. I think if anyone plans to own a stock for years, as opposed to days, then exact price entry points become less important then pulling the trigger and establishing an initial position. I guess that's easy to say in the shadow of bull market that rewards all but the hesitant. I think it is Peter Lynch who points out in one or two of his books that you could have bought Walmart after it initially tripled, and still held on for a ten-bagger. Allan
