Thread regarding Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO)

To be honest I’m not any sort of long term strategic investor.I’m rather trying to make some short term profit out of growth of certain stock.
Cisco caught my eye lately. I know people tend to think of Cisco as more of a dividend based and not a growth stock, but it’s been on a good run this year, from 43$ at the beginning of the year to 55$ where it’s sitting right now.
Can this good trend continue? What are the chances of making some profit if I invest at this point or am I late to the party?
