For instance, this - amongst most of its genre (not picking on you) - was "wrong": Message 14355162

Mucho's post is far from wrong. You were commenting about CSCO's impressive 20 B$ cash position. The very definition of a business is how it generates cash. CSCO is no different.

How about posting for the benefit of the rest of us the percentage of that 20 B$ cash attributable to operating earnings versus that which is attributable to stock options?

I could point you an earlier post where I derived it, but since you value primary research I expect you will want to calculate it yourself from the data published in the 10-K.

When I did this, it was abundantly clear that stock option exercise dominates CSCO's business.
