I take issue with your implication that a company's value has to exceed the markets the
company addresses


??? I think I'm arguing the opposite. And I agree that CSCO's value appears overpriced... and well, it is. But what does CSCO have going for it? A track record of success, a huge product line with #1 or #2 market positions in a wide variety of spaces. A visionary company that is setting the agenda for the next mellenium...and well.. after all than if you project their next 5 years of revenues (you have to take some liberties to do this) they are trading at about 1 1/2 time 5 years revenues - about the same as SCMR. the differences between the two companies however are like night and day. Think about it for a while. How do you justify a double here? I certainly can't justify a double on CSCO anytime soon...and I love CSCO. So,,, ??? I'm interested in your thinking...
