Bambs, thanks for the clarification on earnings used for PE computation. However, calling the 11 cents as "real earnings" of the proforma 18 cents Cisco quarterly earnings is not quite right. The difference, 7 cents, represents real earnings from investments and real earnings that were used to purchase other companies. All 18 cents are "real earnings". If you spent your total earnings from stock market investments in buying a new car, would you say you made no "real earnings" from stocks? I think not. Yahoo's computation of PE based on partial earnings totally discounts the company's increased value from invested earnings. A PE based on proforma earnings more truly reflects correct valuation, IMO.
