In a case that offers a rare glimpse into the complicated nature of building the Internet's infrastructure, Cisco is mired in a lawsuit spanning several states that charges the company with activities ranging from the sale of faulty equipment to conflicts of interest.

Interesting comparison of Cisco and Lucent using what is called the Flow Ratio. No surprise here - Cisco kills Lucent when judging based on this metric. But still worth a read: |

The deal has already been approved by both companies' boards. Cisco also said it would take a one-time charge of a penny per share to pay for the deal.

Cisco Systems hit its short-term target of $57 and has since begun to back off. Short-term traders, take your profits before it backs off further. Long-term investors, Cisco is a very strong company suffering from the decline of the tech sector. Hang in there. Priceline.com is a strong buy with a $67.00 target for the long-term investor. Motorola has a $129 target for a long-term investment! The stock has dropped roughly 80 points with the market decline. Chase Manhattan Bank is a strong buy with a $79.00 target. The stock was over $100 a month ago and we should see high $70s short to intermediate term. Oracle Corporation hit and passed its short-term target of $70.00. It is now dropping, probably from profit taking. Traders, you may want to exit your positions. Investor’s, Oracle is still strong for the long-term haul. China Resources Development has not performed as based on the new agreement with China. If you bought this stock in hopes of an explosive growth after the ratification of new trade relations, perhaps you should reconsider your position.

I also don't think Cisco is a house of cards, but it isn't a slam dunk either. The reason they feel compelled to spend $10 billion a year on acquisitions is that there is a real risk of obsolesence if they don't. The problem is that when they demonstrate that they're going to buy any networking startup with impressive technology, they're just asking for more competition... and that's what's happening. |

Barron's (or should I say Bear-on's) has been consistently pessimistic about tech stocks over the years, even as they've risen dramatically. I guess some investors don't realize this, and with the earnings numbers coming tomorrow they were easily spooked. I agree with Barron's that Cisco is overpriced now, but I don't agree that it's a 'house of cards'. |

Any opinions on the negative Barron's article? CSCO's down about 5% this morning. |
