  And Aegerion has to compete with Sanofi (NYSE: SNY  ) and Isis Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: ISIS  ) Kynamro, which is approved for the same genetic disorder. Juxtapid is arguably a better drug with a better side-effect profile. It can also be taken orally, while Kynamro needs to be injected. Still, I think it's unreasonable to expect Aegerion to capture the entire market.

  We can start with Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO  ) .�The leading seller of routers, switches, and other networking gear is increasing its quarterly dividend 21% to $0.17 a share.

  The Nasdaq was likely pulled lower by the IDC report, which indicated that PC sales declined 14% during the first quarter of 2013. This report pulled a number of technology stocks lower, but shares of Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO  ) slipped away from the downward pressure, and managed to become one of the index's top stocks. Shares of the networking giant rose 1% during today's trading session after climbing 2.4% yesterday, and 2% on Tuesday. Today's move came on very little news, but Cisco certainly is gaining momentum. The company also recently announced a joint project with Microsoft, in which the two will work together to provide data center customers with more functionality and lower complexity. In addition, the two will work together to improve and grow data center operations. �

  Alternatively, the best-performing Dow stock today is Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO  ) , which has given up earlier gains and dipped a relatively minor 0.4% Fellow Fool Dan Dzombak attributes this outperformance to comments made by the CEO of Cisco's close competitor Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR  ) , who is predicting a trend of rising spending in the sector. According to the Journal, when asked today at a technology conference in San Francisco why router demand would improve, Juniper CEO Kevin Johnson told investors that demand in its core business is "tracking above historical patterns." Assuming this is true, it's obviously good for Cisco, which sells similar products.
