CIS trade ideas
Oh CSCO, the NVDA of the late 90's
Look at that run...well notice how i always say...Blow off high/low..rally to lower highs/higher lows and go...well csco rallied to a lower high and then the big short...YEAH straight line moves . At this point in the cycle as Jonny boy is studying..we don't even have volatility so tough to be bearish long term..study your past to know your future. The chop before the drop is mandatory.
CSCO Breakout12/11/17
CSCO has been a strong uptrend from a giant earnings gap.
Consolidation here has led to a tight triangle and an explosive move today. Looking for a break above $38 @ $38.20 to play the strength. Good RSI and weekly trend too.
Profit: 39.45
Entry $38.10
Stop $ 36.70

CSCO 10 year high - long this goddamn breakoutI have been watching Cisco for a long time,
Not only is it the biggest networking company in the world (or one of them,) but it has somehow managed to underperform the market even whilst cybersecurity and such are becoming such big trends.
There are several reasons, however one of the main ones is the report that came out saying that the growth of earnings may be disappointing due to a shift to software.
However, even though it may be a shock for investors - this actually shows they are actually adapting to change, which is a win in the long run. Last earnings report, they beat the expectations which triggered a bullish breakout and 10 year high. This has the potential to go to at least $80 - and is still a decent dividend & value stock even at this price.
I would start buying now, and possibly if we see the gap being filled lower down.
Looks like Cisco CSCO is following the leader long hereCSCO seems to be following technically the footsteps of INTC and MSFT.
MSFT has run a lot but INTC looks to be on that pathway as well with CSCO just starting. Nice round basing pattern then pop goes the weasel.
I like it long. Especially if it continues like INTC and MSFT has. Feels like the 90's all over again :)
