As we mentioned earlier<\/a>, this month we are going to be looking at the stocks that make up the DJIA. . Next up Cisco (CSCO). Another Dow Jones Industrial component that scores poorly. OF the last several we have discussed (in alphabetical order), only CAT scored high<\/a> enough to look like it has some beneficial characteristics for investors.<\/p>\n

CSCO has been hitting 52-week lows, day after day since they announced earnings. The stock has been a real laggard and that shows up very obviously from the -4.3<\/strong><\/span> technical score. Remember, CSCO is one of those names that almost every equity mutual fund holds, so when they disappoint, expect a good amount of high volume selling.<\/p>\n

Those players who use “value” as their criteria have been pummeled and you know what they are probably saying? “Well…. I liked it at $20, so I really like it at $18.20!”<\/p>\n

But, for those that would rather see a position prove itself before throwing good money after bad, this does not seem to provide anything that will be a catalyst near term. Even though analysts expect revenues to climb slightly over the next few quarters, EPS appears to be leveling off.<\/p>\n

From this vantage point, it would be my interpretation that there may be better opportunities….<\/p>\n
