ted, It looks like Eric already answered your question. And no, it's not just a problem I have with Cisco. Many tech companies have cooked books. In my opinion, you can't keep improving earnings exponentially when you are cooking the books. You run out of tricks if you know what I mean. For example, Intel's 2001 estimates are for profits of $1.5 billion higher than this years estimates. We already know that Intel has taken over $3 billion in one time gains from stock sales in the first 2 quarters this year. This means next year in order for Intel just to meet estimates, they are going to have to come up with $4.5 billion in profit assuming the core business has flat earnings. While I doubt the earnings from the core business will be flat, I highly doubt they will be $4.5 billion higher than this year. There are many companies in this same situation, it is far from just an Intel or Cisco problem. Eventually, I think this will be one of the leading causes in killing the Naz and maybe the whole market. IMO, there's nothing wrong with cutting through the BS the ANALysts are pushing and tearing through financial statements yourself to see what's really going on. chic
