Cisco Systems (CSCO 0.37%) beat estimates on both the top and bottom lines when it reported third-quarter earnings last night. The stock rose more than 5% in the immediate afterglow, but CEO John Chambers wants more.

"We're going to move into small sale, and then we'll combine small sale with [service provider] Wi-Fi, with 3G, with 4G, with our architectural plays, with applications and programmability and flexibility," Chambers said.
A risky move? Perhaps, but it's one that Tim thinks is needed, as he explains in the following video.
