What's up with CSCO 2002 LEAPS. Anybody else want to buy some but wish they could go further out of the money. The deepest strike is 70,all the way to Jan.2002?? edreyfus.com Maybe I will send them a E-Mail. BTW CSCO thanks for another all time high. My core holding is as hot as a 4th of July firework.

Here is a quick comparison of the two as related to earnings. The expected sales from LU is somewhat greater than CSCO, but the margins really show the big picture. In the same token, the price to sales really compare apples to oranges.
