Bruce,

Go easy on me Mike, I'm simply providing a link to a thought provoking post.

LOL! To remind others here, forums such as SI and the Fool want people to provide links to their forum. What they don't want and rightfully so is for people to copy and paste stuff from their forum into another forum. Regardless, Bruce's comment is about an entirely different matter that you can appreciate only if you've been reading the Fool's Gorilla Game folder.

Back to Cisco.

That's a fascinating study. I've never considered looking at growth of shareholders' equity but it makes a lot of sense, especially if it's dissimilar to growth of earnings. However, for the same reason it's important that we look at earnings per share it's equally important that we examine equity per share instead of total equity.

There was one part of that piece I didn't understand, the stuff about unrecognized gains. If an investment is listed in a note as an unrecognized gain, does that mean it's not part of the shareholders' equity listed on the balance sheet?
