CSCO- If you're in this one for the long term (as I am), holding through the earnings will work out okay. Their technology is needed... last earnings were down but stock recovered quickly. bigcharts.com Last split 3:2 in Sept. 98..I bought it on Oct 18th, '98, a split would be welcomed...:~)

CSCO..and TBFC (morning gapper?). On holding PER..FOSL, Stock #1 May 11, Stock #2 May 11 Stock #2 May 11, I picked that up and holding this one. Not a hi-flyer but it's got a lot of analyst coverage lately. FOSL.. yep its' great but it's got 11 points on it and I am afraid you might be in for profit taking. I'd wait. PER is gaining strength. Someone asked me yesterday, I think it was Bones if that was losing steam, it sure doesn't look like it. I am holding and I'm in from 26 1/2. Its now at high of the day, 31 11/16. CSCO First on holding through earnings. I would have if I hadn't sold the options yesterday. I only spent 3,750 for the options that's not a big price to gamble. About stock #1 May 11, I'm having a hard time here. The stock is doing something it never did before. It rises about 2-3 points every day and today pulls back near the close. I don't like that at all. I already sold the options. Same thing happened with TAGS. I don't like stocks that pull into negative before earnings. I would be very cautious about holding through earnings. On the other hand, I don't see this one tanking but possibly a loss of 2-3 points at the most but if it beats I can see a lot more upside. This is the number 2 retail stock but then TAGS was #1. AS far as CSCO goes, its closing very nicely for an earnings play. I'm considering getting some more options myself, but I'm just worried about adelphia cable being down again tomorrow morning in case I can't sell at a moments notice. I actually got MOT as CSCO began to rise. First it was cheaper and I am thinking of a longer term hold. When MOT closed yesterday at 100% of the day range, I was already almost 'sold' on it. TBFC..I think you should consider a small amount for a longer time period. I am long TBFC and I think it could be the next NTBK,NTBK is still strong, but I'd wait for the split, even the options are dearly priced.
