That depends actually...

Is he talking trailing PE or forward PE. Trailing PE's are useless for growth companies.

Is he talking "E" = all earnings or only earnings from operations?

If he is looking at forward PE and all earnings then CSCO is already at 60PE.

I should add that earnings from investments should indeed be included since these investments have a cost which is initially dilutive to earnings... so if CSCO weren't investing then earnings from operations would be higher...
