Don't be too sure that Parish doesn't know what he's talking about. He's obviously not a skilled writer and has a rather over-excited tone, but since coming across his pieces on CSCO and MSFT several months ago, I've seen the more important points of his articles picked up by an increasing number of other journalists. The Economist ran a piece this week that was similar in thrust to the Barron's article.

I just want the question cleared up. How many outstanding options are held that csco is accountable for? What is the total amount of option debt at current prices? You can't give me an official number and CSCO IR ignored my emails. What is an investor to do? If the numbers are good I would consider buying next time csco goes below $50. If the numbers are bad I wouldn't buy csco.] If there is an excessive amount of options out there, I feel it puts a collar on the stock. CSCO can't trade that high with these options out there because the option expense of it trading higher wipes out earnings. It's that simple.
