Monday through today the bears are ahead; yet, thanks to the bullish battle-backs, the U.S.indices are STILL ahead for the month and way ahead for the year. No market goes straight up, consolidation pullbacks (take two steps foward, one step back) happen, and should be expected; the indications are, that is what is occurring now.
Today the markets are concerned with Ireland debt troubles, the EU debt troubles, QE2, and Cisco's (CSCO) earnings report last night. The EU trials and tribulations are "fixable" and the markets KNOW that; so, it's a convienient and handy excuse, instead of "profit taking."
Cisco's (CSCO) earnings report beat earnings, but reduced outlook expectations. (1) Cisco is NOT losing money. (2) Cisco expects growth of 8 to 12 percent. (3) Cisco has an attractive trailing 12 month P/E, plus a foward P/E of about 10 with a PEgrowth of 1.13. (4) Given Cisco's "reduced" expectations, CSCO has a 1 year estimated target of $27.50 +/-0.25 ... a potential reward of 32.5% from its current price. The selling is clearly way overdone!
