Shayne Heffernan of Ebeling Heffernan has issued a strong buy on Cisco Systems, Inc. Nasdaq:CSCO with a price target of $32 in 2011.

Markets over reacted to Cisco Systems, Inc. news, that day shares declined $3.97, or 16 percent, to $20.52.Cisco Systems, Inc. tumbled after its profit and sales forecast fell short of analysts’ estimates because of increased competition and lower government spending. The drop wiped out all of Cisco’s gains since Sept. 2.

But, not everyone was a seller, late in the day the options market for Cisco came to life, Cisco options traded 19 times the monthly average as traders rushed to buy Cisco.

There is little doubt that the world’s largest computer networking-equipment maker will rebound, yesterdays over reaction was the biggest drop since July 1994.
