Actually, bambs, I don't blame Cisco IR for not addressing this. After all, we're dealing with opinion here, not fact.

Parish does not provide any backup for his 8.5 billion share logic. We have to guess at what his logic might be. It is pretty hard for Cisco to address that point when there is not any quantitative basis for the opinion.

I have addressed Cisco IR many times for factual answers, and have found them to be one of the most responsive companies around.

So you believe that CSCO is printing shares? C'mon... just say it.

Bambs... Just tell me one thing. Where do the shares come from that employee's exercise. It can come from one of two places.

1. Cisco purchases them on the open market or is holding shares which it purchased...
2. Cisco prints shares (as Parish suggests).

Which is it.

If 1. what is the expense to CSCO?
If 2. what is the expense to CSCO?

It's really simple.....
