<<I suppose CSCO, Northern Telecom and the other suppliers will figure out how to call the inevitable write-downs "one-time charges" on two-year old equipment that comes back off defaulted seven-year leases or loans, but the reality is that a significant portion of what was previously booked as sales will not be paid. Keep this in mind when you get tempted to buy these exponential growth manufacturers.>>

This is the most cogent argument against further price appreciation in the Telco equipment stocks that there is. As a group, they are NOT worth the PE's they are being awarded, because their future cash flow has been wildly exaggerated and certainly won't be consistent. When the recognition of this comes it will get very ugly very quickly.....
