instead of using csco to double my money, i now use csco as safe moderate growth haven for cash in between when i go in and out of other small cap stocks which i think can double every year.

additionaly, to be real safe but still grow, i also use QQQ as the least cost ownership and expense mutual fund type investment without the expenses or mgmt. fee.

QQQ index has outperformed fidelity magellan, s&p 500 spider, fidelity agressive growth fund, twentith century Ultra, fidelity health care over the last year and last 5 years both.

i think investing in QQQ and CSCO have equivalent upsides but less risk with QQQ. I think the huge upsides with CSCO are at an end due to market cap ceiling. Great to BUY CSCO on strange market drops however, such as last October etc. CSCO is also easy to buy pre quarter end and sell post quarter reporting for leveraged win, but last quarter didn't give the normal spurt up then down, so those quarter end games many play options with may be over too? Any stock with heavy institutional ownership like csco is usually easy to buy into before big funds buy lots of csco for window dressing.

i think garrett vanwagoneer out of TX and amerindo fund out of San Fran are investing in the same type of stocks i am also betting on. i keep bumping into them during due diligence phases.

most of my big money plays are in seed stage ventures, very high risk but socially fun. i double check lots of info i learn on this SI medium.
