Fundamental Analysis
To keep things simple, I like this stock for a PUT due to their market competitors. They are in competition with some other big dogs in the industry who have better financials than Cisco in my opinion. After looking at their financials the main thing I noticed in comparison with Zoom and Microsoft was the NET MARGIN%. Cisco ranged from 22.75% to 18.22% while Microsoft (15.06 %to 17.48%). These were yearly comparisons and it tells me that Cisco isn't profiting as much as they could be compared to other market leaders.
Technical Analysis
Stochastic RSI: White line is above the green line which means price is overbought while also being in a resistance zone.
Fibonnaci: Ranged from the potential "Current Resistance Zone" to the "New Support Zone". I'm looking for a retracement of the previous low being $43.72. I'm expecting a retracement of anywhere between 30% and lower.
MacD Squatter: White line is still above the zero line but momentum is losing on smaller time frames.
Current Price:$ After Hours $49.50
Strike Price: $45.37 and lower if lucky.
Stop Loss: $55.11

Cup and Handle Rising Wedge Earnings 2-9 AMCThis is another that can get a haircut at earnings ..Neutral
There is a fat rising wedge inside the cup. Rising wedges are often bearish and are not valid until bottom trendline is broken. CSCO has not broken bottom trendline..yet. CSCO can not catch a break! Rising wedges interrupt supply and demand as there is a lack of healthy pull backs. Both trendlines point upward and converge or narrow at the top. Rising wedges are a symptom of irrational exuberance. I missed the exuberance surrounding CSCO..just decided to take a look because I just did a chart of INTC and these 2 remind me of one another. INTC looks more bullish than CSCO to me right now. But we are all different.
Targets if CSCO breaks long entry level are 56.05 59.65 and 62.20. I am planning to watch hw she goes with earnings aaround the corner and a Rising Wedge in the chart. There is also an unfilled gap or 2 that CSCO could fill if and when it falls out of the RW.. Earnings are often when a security gets bitten by the RW. There are not enough buyers left.
When you do not know what to do, it is ok to do nuttin!
Not a recommendation/I am neutral on this one but have a feeling it will go down. in the short to medium term..
1 year high is 50.28 3 year high is 56.26 and long term, CSCO has a high from a long time ago of 82/I had to put TOS on max available to find that high as it is older than 20 years.
Cisco System (CSCO)Cisco remains focused on transitioning to a more software-centric business model. Infrastructure Platforms division has been the most impacted by COVID-19, with sales declining 16% year over year in the fiscal first quarter (end 31th July). The company expects demand to rebound as customers adopt a hybrid model of coming into the office as well as working from home. This is a great solid company with low debt and an interesting dividend yeld. We could set a target price in the area 56.00/60.00 Usd per share .
$CSCO short setup if market turns in next couple of weeksplease share thoughts particularly if you use elliot wave and can give feedback. room to run within macro channel but other factors considered i think it completes wxyxz and macro X within 10 days.
thank you.
big breakout incoming herebreaking out of this trend channel here, look for a test of 52w highs soon if this top trendline resistance breaks. target 60+
$CSCO - call optionsI've been burned on CSCO, but I am disciplined and this chart is telling me I should get into call options.
I will set tight stop loss and exit with 30-50% gains.
Golden cross coming, trend is our friend and its in a slight pull back.
Watch for entry.
CSCO - Unusual option activity10,467 CSCO 47 strike calls expiring Feb 19th 2021 were traded at 0.89 in a single print above open interest of 1,141.
Since we don't have visibility to what the bid or ask price was when these calls were traded, we have to look at this from different perspectives.
1.) Call Buying - This could be interpreted as call buying since one could argue that CSCO is trying to fill the gap from back on 8/13/2020. Note that the horizontal line representing the 47 strike calls is near the lows on 8/12/2020 just before it gapped down the next day.
2.) Covered Calls - These calls could also be covered calls. CSCO has had a good run from November through present day. Perhaps these are sold calls to hedge against a correction in the stock price.
Let's follow the stock and this option's pricing see what happens.

What cash secured puts look like when it goes the wrong wayMost people promote cash secured puts as being a fool proof way to make money and I believe 80% of it because there are events such as this that doesn't get published much in trading schools or learning materials
With such a high win rate associated with selling puts, its easy to think you will never ever get assigned or lose a trade.
But this is the exact time when traders can get burnt, is that they chase a company without regard for the companies they are selling for, or even the tail risk that sometimes markets can correct like this
Whilst it is not constructive to look at this scenario as one that happens frequently, it is a way to look back in time and be humble about the market sometimes doing things we don't expect
Imagine at the time in the tech book, CSCO was touted as the king of the tech world and it would change everything forever, only to see it burst in the next few months and wipe out all their gains. Prior to the crash you could have convinced yourself what an incredible company CSCO is and you wanted to own it via cash secured puts and take ownership of shares. Look how that would have turned out
If selling the 57$ puts allowed you to collect 4$/contract, look how long it would've taken to breakeven on your position. We can ignore the cost reduction from selling calls at the time because I think the frustration would've made you give up on managing the position.
The only way out would have been to average down and sell the next pop, or take a loss, or better yet - at the offset, not allocate such a huge amount of put contracts and take on more risk than your cash secured account could handle - but money and greed can make people do crazy things so its easy to look back now to avoid selling puts. When the news is saying we are ushering in the next wave of innovation, how can you not be apart of it - if you aren't apart of it then you are missing out. And what better way to be apart than to deploy a fancy options trading strategy to sound smarter than all your peers?
Sometimes companies we thought we wouldn't mind owning, turn out to be companies we actually want to divorce eventually. Much like how we sometimes select a partner for marriage thinking we can do this for 20 years. And after 5 years, yeahhhhh I don't know, I'm having second thoughts.
Ask anyone if they have the guts to marry anything, not just a person for even 5 years, I don't think people can plan commitments or imagine their lives 10 years out - in a span of 10 years, if you look at the world, we have had an explosion of iphones and social media - When I was young, we owned a tube TV and I grew up in the dial-up internet era!
Nowadays, 1-2 years is considered long term holding, not the same as 5-10 years. Trends change quickly and if you want to sell cash secured puts on "fundamentally sound" companies, you have to adapt quickly to the ever changing market conditions
LHX, TOL, CSCO Here are a few names I have been watching, and today, I entered long positions. LHX, TOL, CSCO.
CSCO Bubble PatternFollowed a common 5 phase pattern
Phase 1: Trending breakout of basing formation in a strong up-trending move
Phase 2: Trending high-volatility drawdown (usually not related to stock or index itself).
Phase 3: Trending recovery - stock or index shrugs off the high volatility event as it recovers quickly and stronger than before.
Phase 4: Upwards & & sideways non-trending consolidation. Typically choppy trading, but slightly upward move.
Phase 5: 3 Phase blowoff top - breakout of non-trending consolidation followed by a smaller upwards consolidation into final blowoff breakout top.
$CSCO - love a megaphone patternThis stock has multiple strong indicators plus a megaphone pattern emerging.
One to watch for sure.
How To Turn $2k into $20kWe have a fantastic opportunity to end 2020 with a bang, and I am going to explain how you can turn $2k into $20k the final week of December. First I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and this post is my Christmas gift to you. We will either loose $2k together or make an $18k profit together. There is risk but in my opinion the reward is so significantly greater and likely. I am going through with it, and in the end it's your call. No pun intended.
CSCO recently received a buy signal on the Bollinger Bands, and has growing bullish divergence on the MACD, and D+.
With such strong divergence and CSCO being so close to breaking resistance, I believe we will see a break out and see the stock hit new highs.
My strategy is to buy 100 contracts ( calls ) for CSCO to hit $45 a share by 12/31
The contracts are currently trading for 0.19 a contract and I can see the contract value hitting a high of $2.00 a contract
I want to give all the credit to @avakstocks for finding this breakout opportunity after learning to use my technical analysis strategy.
This is a big opportunity and I ask that if you decide to make this power play and win big, to donate a small fraction like $50 worth of coins to @avakstocks to help fund his pro membership.
Comment your thoughts below, follow to see what happens, and make sure to like if you think this will happen!
Bought on saleIt's 50% off compared to its intrinsic value.
It could go down further, thus the stop. It's "risky".
Out of all the tech stocks I've looked at $ CSCO has the BEST fundamentals.
High growth potential.
You probably want to wait for when it goes back up or grab some call options.
I only bought a single share. So it could go to 0 I wouldn't cry about it.
The fundamentals are there. The price doesn't make sense this low.
~45.20 to complete X before down, maybe $26, on $CSCO Cisco~45.20 to complete X before down to $26 on $CSCO Cisco
posting this mostly bc i still don't knowhow to save properly and so i dont have to keep charting from scratch
CSCO Bullish Gap Cisco has snatched up a UK cloud software company, This could act as a bullish catalyst to help close this gap, along with the bullish momentum it is currently experiencing.
