I looked at your post. It says nothing about the vaunted cash flow. My point is that the cash flow growth is a side-effect of options exercises by employees. It is real only as long as the stock price is high. If the stock price falls far enough, Cisco's strategy will have to change. Like a private business, it would have to pay the market rate for cash wages; would have to expense those wages; and would no longer receive the tax benefit from the government. Thereby reducing cash flow and retained earnings. To me, it seems Cisco's business is really dependent on a high stock price.
