I wanted to take a more in depth look at a company I've sold some puts on, Cisco (CSCO). Cisco is by no means a dividend champion, challenger, or even contender with only 2 years of increases, but the potential is there for rapid growth so I figured we should look a bit more into the company. Cisco closed trading on Friday, May 17th at $24.04.
