Kit, This is very similar to the Willie Moscone/Minnesota Fats pool matchup on television. Willie beat Fats like a drum, and, afterwards, Fats was interviewed. "Will you now admit that Willie is the better player?" "Sure, as long as none of his money is on the line. But if we were playing for our own money, in an amount that made both of us nervous, they would be carryin' him out on a stretcher." The CEO of Cisco isn't using his money. He is using the money of the suckers who own Cisco's stock. If he wins, he makes several hundred million bucks for his personal account. If he loses, he throws Cramer a dollar to issue an apology. <g>
