Cisco (CSCO): Toby Smith says 'Get on board'

"Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) it's a true 'Dominator' company," says Toby Smith. "The company's major strategic advantage is its size and its marketing power to influence customers' decision-making."

"This is a good time to get on board, he says in his ChangeWave Investing, a newsletter that seeks to identify the leading company involved in enduring, long-term market trends.

He continues, "The company's primary value proposition is not quality or price, but being the single source for its customers' networking technology needs. Purchasers of Cisco's equipment won't lose any sleep over their decision to buy from them. The thinking is if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Meanwhile, as to specific market sector, he notes that "We have chosen to highlight some names that are well positioned technically. These are intended as radar screen names -- sectors or stocks positioned to move near term."
