That's correct. Cisco was expecting to grow EPS by $.14-.16 this year, according to analyst estimates. However, options expense, according to an article someone posted here a couple weeks ago, will come in at approximately $.14, effectively wiping out this fiscal year's growth. Why would any investor buy Cisco now that the stock is virtually guaranteed to stay still for a year? The only interest anyone can have now for the next year, will be as a trader's stock. For example, right now would be a good time to buy for a quick 10%+ gain by Jan. Other than that, it's dead money. How sad for a company as fundamentally sound as Cisco.
