I thought this past month would be all about the financials and oil.  Apple, Google, Microsoft, and the likes (I don't count Yahoo anymore) have been making me look like a fool.  As we begin to look at weaker and weaker economic numbers it would be hard to justify buy into CSCO and their top of the line networking and communications equipment.  However, having said said that, I believe even cash strapped corporations will turn to companies like CSCO  so they can do more with less. 

  Tech companies that cater to individual consumers will probably take a beating this Christmas as we

After my initial examination of the books on CSCO I am confident that it will be a winner long-term.  To further re-enforce this notion I took at look at the technical side of things to.

Worst case scenario is that CSCO finished off this gigantic-looking head and shoulders it's been coming down off of since early August 2006.  That being said the lowest point it looks to be capable of hitting is around $17.50/share.  Certainly a significant downside potential but I don't think it will get anywhere near there.

As per my usual rule of not waiting for the stock to hit the bottom ...

The stock is loosing momentum, which is being reflected broadly across the sector. The sector had a nice run up the past few months but seems to be cooling down. Holding or even selling off some of your position may be advised, especially for short and swing traders.

When Will Google's 'GPhone' Android Operating System Invade Your Living Room? No Time Soon

old-tv-rabbit-ears.jpgDoes Google's "GPhone" Android operating system have a life beyond mobile phones? Anything's possible. But will it be running your cable TV set-top box any time soon? Probably not.

Google (GOOG) supposedly has ambitious plans for Android. VentureBeat thinks it could become a "universal operating system that will span set-top boxes for televisions, mp3 players and other communication and media devices and services,"

We've heard somewhat similar things -- specifically, that there's a team at Google playing around with Android on set-top boxes.

But even if the Android ends up running your phone,

Weekly review - after a good week, will we get follow-through?
Oil down, stocks up. Seems a simple formula. Dollar up, Euro down. It's easy to play this game, isn't it?

Let's see, what other games can we play? Banks pay fines for sleazy behavior in auction rate securities market, pay billions to wronged investors and take more junk onto their balance sheets. Financial stocks close the week with a gain. Huh?

Ok, so maybe this stuff isn't so simple after all. In actuality, as the market has moved steadily upward we have continued to receive numerous conflicting signals. This week initial claims came in higher than expected, extending the trend of the last ...

8/8 - "At Valuecruncher we decided to put some numbers around the potential future performance of CSCO using our on-line valuation tool...Our assumptions of revenues for the next three years are $43.5 billion in 2009 growing to $52.5 billion in 2011 – a 10% compound annual growth rate. We have projected EBITDA margins to grow from 29.0% in 2009 to 30.0% in 2011." "We have used a terminal growth rate of 4.5%. We calculated this terminal growth rate based on year three growth of 10% dropping to a 4.0% stable growth rate by year 10. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$1.25 bil...

Analysts Can't Make Up Their Minds on Cisco
8/6 - "Bank of America reiterates Neutral due to a lack of positive catalysts going forward. Says guidance is achievable, however." "FBR (Friedman Billings Ramsey) maintains Outperform and $31 price target but reduces estimates given lower guidance." "JMP Securities reiterated Market Perform. Doesn't see favorable risk/reward profile." "Citigroup reiterates Buy rating, but sees shares remaining range-bound due to difficult comps, service provider softness, and the possibility of acquisitions."

The Miracle at Cisco
8/6 - "There are two reasons Cisco's numbers are surprising. The first is that its large router business primarily sells products to telecom and cable companies. Capital spending in those sectors has not been sharply increasing, so Cisco must be improving its market share or its margins. Another significant piece of Cisco's business is home set-top boxes and small-business video conferencing. It touches a vast pool of consumers and enterprise with modest numbers of employees. In other words, Cicso has risk across many pieces of the economy, and its still did well."
