since 2,550 institutional buyers own 63.44% of CSCO then this is safest stock(besides MSFT) on the planet, with upside secure due to high barrier to entry for any new competitors. Having such a high % of institutional ownership also makes it susceptible to huge down swings as in a down-market, many of these institutions will be rushing to get out at the same time. And when they do, that is a lot of shares. IMO, <30% would be safer for both upside and downside.
