Regardless of the answer from CSCO IR, the numbers still don't add up. 7.096B + 800M does not equal 8.5B. Seems like pretty weak analysis to me. Also, does it make sense to you that the stock option debt increases when the stock price goes up? "...there are 8.5 billion shares of stock outstanding, including options." in reference to CSCO stock. " It is also noteworthy that Cisco's stock option debt to employees for unexercised options, according to the Wall Street Journal, now exceeds $40 billion and this leveraged debt increases more than $800 million with each $1 increase in the stock price." It seems Bill Parish is stating that there is in the is around 800 million unexercised options that Cisco is responsible for, is this true?
