What the hell is wrong with Cisco. Hey, Jean, Dell is down 4 3/4, AOL is down 8 1/8, LU 2 1/8, MSFT, 2 3/8, the big caps are taking a beating. If you want to dance with the "big dogs", you have to be prepared to pay the price!

wow.. CSCO was down today- better call the company and scream at them! please... CSCO has held up incredibly well thru this mess and im hardly in a position to complain. Hell, even DELL the mighty one took a hit. Boy- large cap investors are really in for a shock if they see a correction the likes of what the small caps have seen. You will probably kill yourself no doubt!

When you see big cap growth stocks like CSCO start to fall in a situation like this, it is a sign that institutions are starting to raise cash. This is especially true of mutual funds who may need cash soon to meet redemptions. The institutions are forced to sell their liquid big cap winners.This helps to tie down quarterly or yearly profits, and these big caps are the only ones that are liquid enough to sell without driving the price down too much. Don't worry, the same stocks will be the first ones they start to buy back when the bear stops growling. It's times like this that show the value of having a cash reserve. IMHO, this is a cyclical bear market (long overdue), inside a continuing secular bull market. This correction is at least halfway over. Did you expect the bull to have it's way forever? Bear markets are necessary to control the excesses of bull markets. The Russian problems were a catalyst for something that was overdue and would have happened soon anyway. Personally I'm glad to see it, since it provides bargains. Think of it a a summer White Sale. good investing
