I did the math on R/E over Rev for the last four years and posted it to you earlier. But I think it was in the middle of one of my longer rants...lol.. If I recall off the top of my head it was 54 Billions in revenue for 5 Billions of retained earnings. 10%. That's still not bad, actually. Which is why i say "good company". Shame however about the real denominator which is 7.3 Billion. I'd rather be focusing my energy on some of the even worse ponzi players. 'Cause the real shame of it is that Cisco's a good company and a fierce competitor which has got to be admired. Unfortunately, their financials are opaque and twisted. Take a peek into Qualcomm for example. Takes me days to wade through the information and make sense of it. And even then there are big gaps. But look at the R/E figure versus revenue versus price per share. Now there's a company in real share-price jeopardy. Anyway, I figure the saying is "buyer beware". Looks like an order at 15 just crossed. Was that u?
