Cisco gapped up over $1 (6.5%) at the open, based on their earnings. A 3 year chart shows the breakout in 2003, the subsequent breakdown in 2004.
The stock is likely to run into some resistance at $20-21.

Note that since I am no longer on the Sell Side, the compliance rules on posting items such as this have become dramatically easier . . .
Didn’t the CNBC crew go through the whole “tech boom is coming”/”Cisco is the most undervalued stock out there” a year or two ago? Seems like I’m in some kind of groundhog day thing.
CSCO’s a dog and you all know it.
their push into consumer electro/video delivery will most likely compress margins.
This stock is dead money for another 12 months.
This stock is so bad, I’d rather buy Overstock.com — wait, on second thought, I take that back….
I sold all my CSCO last year so that might be a sign of a bottom and it’s about to start a 5-year run.
(No, I didn’t buy it at 80, I bought it in 2002 for $12 something. . . of course I should have bought some oil stocks instead).
Is hard to think of a reason to buy any of these megacaps when you’ll be getting 5% in a money market. . .
