jach, I sent you a message the other day: Message 8646030 To which you didn't respond. And then you say FORE is a good deal at current prices, despite fundamentals that are much worse than CSCO's. Message 8423516 Then you go back to the overpriced argument with CSCO and IBM. To me, it seems that you are not consistent in your application of evaluation criteria. Can you tell me why I am wrong? Thanks, JXM CSCO is overpriced compared to IBM. biz.yahoo.com biz.yahoo.com IBM is eight times bigger, much much more profitable. Simple question, if you've a lot of money to buy a large company, and also assumes that you can only buy one company, either IBM or CSCO today, which one would you buy? IBM that paid you dividence, earned four to five times more than CSCO, and has less valuation than csco, or the highly overpriced CSCO. Jyst take a quick look at the two profiles, what a big big difference?, that reminds one of the Gorilla stuff. IBM is a Gorilla, CSCO is a little chimp. All imo.

Jyst take a quick look at the two profiles, > what a big big difference?, that reminds one of the Gorilla stuff. IBM? Eight times as big in terms of sales, four times as big in terms of profits, only half the profit margin, and in terms of growth, HAAAA HAAA HAAAAAA... > IBM is a Gorilla, CSCO is a little chimp. All imo. and you're no more than a broken ABBA record - squeaky, with no message, and repeating itself over and over... Happy holidays...!

This argument has been true forever. No one but an idiot would have bought Cisco when they could by IBM. Same goes for Dell, Intel, and Microsoft. You just can't beat that IBM for buy and hold. Excuse me, while I kiss the sky.
