So Cisco paid 4¢ a share in options to insiders and didn't pay its investors any dividend. 16¢ a share per year would be a 0.8% dividend. If we could get the press to report the news as simply as that... FWIW, I bought Cisco at $17 a share for the first time and sold it just shy of $24 and put the money into VLNC at $3.83 about 11 months ago. I can't see holding a company that had book value decline in a multi year period while is showed a net profit over the same period (earnings went out as options!) If I want to give startup wages via options, then I want a company like VLNC (amoung many others like CACS that I also own) that have startup like potential. I like GE over CSCO for buying large growth companies.... check out the dividend on GE...
