Expect significant trendlines to hold until markets prove otherwise.

Earnings are rising (as announced after the close 8/13). However, management expects lower revenues going forward, cutting 6000 jobs & concentrating on areas that are growing (such as 'cloud').

Earnings: 5 yr avg EPS: 1.40. (ttm) EPS: 1.48. Current P/E: 16.51. Forward P/E: 11.38.

Est Avg Yr EPS: 2.16. Est Yr High EPS: 2.27. Est Yr Low EPS: 2.03 (per analysts).

Next Qtr Est Avg EPS: 0.53. Est High EPS: 0.55. Est Low EPS: 0.51. Prior Qtr EPS: 0.43.

The combination of low price/high yield + support at the 50 & 200 sma (weekly charts) = opportunity (IMO).

Whether you buy stock, protect with puts (& collect dividends) or buy calls, puts or do debit/credit spreads (whatever suits your style), a limited risk/high reward position can be constructed. Each strategy has its own follow-up tactics, depending on how it plays out.

NOTE: CSCO is deeply involved in cyber security; we are constantly under attack.

Next earnings date: 11/12/14.
