Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

What I consider to be the premier technology company with a moat that is defended in several ways.

1) They have built their name to mean the best and most reliable...so much so that my buddy at CDW cant persuade IT guys to switch down to cheaper competitors. They would rather pay up and rest assur...More

I expect this to continue to underperform in the next few months (or more). Some of their big clients are in financial trouble. Over the long term I would have to admit that I'm generally bullish on Cisco. I did take my profit out of this stock sometime ago BTW.

too much uncertainty in too many industries at this time does not bode well to suggest cisco will outperform by ANY MEANS.

Tough call. Good company, but tech stocks and market in general will get battered for a while.

Who Will Replace GM in the Dow?
While the fate of General Motors (GM) as a company is being debated by legislators and others, investors would agree that GM will be removed from the Dow Jones Industrial Average as the common stock faces the likely prospect of heading to zero despite efforts for a bailout of workers and suppliers. Some companies to consider as a replacement for GM include:

Abbott Labs (ABT) is a consistent performer with diversified healthcare operations, including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, medical nutrition products, and medical devices/stents. Over the past decade, ABT has consistently raised its dividend and posted a stock price gain of about 17% while the Dow is down 1% and the S&P 500 is down 19%.

Amgen (AMGN) would be an ideal candidate for the initial biotech component in the Dow since its larger rival Genentech (DNA) is majority-owned by Roche (RHHBY), which is looking to buy the remaining stake it does not already own.

Apple (AAPL) has emerged as the technology bellwether and stock market leader, soaring over 900% in the past 10 years and its iPhone is outselling Motorola (MOT) and Research In Motion (RIMM) while its Mac and iPod brands continue to gain market share.

Cisco Systems (CSCO) is closely followed for its guidance on technology spending as the global leader in networking and internet infrastructure -- also has the best chance to replace GM in the Dow since it most closely resembles the industrial theme of the Dow as applied to networking and internet infrastructure.
