Gary, RE: Cisco has historically doubled - or more - every year for I can't remember how long. How is this equivalent to a fixed income instrument generating returns of .... what... 7%??

First of all, I never said equivalent, I said competitive. And return isn't the only part of the equation, risk is also. As rates rise, the risk/return features of a fixed income instrument are more attractive versus the risk/return features of Cisco stock. Perhaps not enough to get you to sell your stock and buy a bond, but others do not have the same risk parameters as you.

Second of all, the fact that Cisco has doubled every year for the past few years is irrelevant. A stock's historical return has very little correlation, if any, to a stock's future return.
