275mm shouldnt be explained as 1/3 of a cent of earnings. Bams may get the wrong idea. This money has never shown in earnings. It was pulled out as a reserve. If they lost it all, it would be what was planned. If this is what caused todays decline, I want to both laugh at the stupidity of those who sold and cry for what it did to cisco.

Gary Nice downdraft today. In a way I'd like the Fed to say nothing tomorrow so we can eliminate a lot of weak hands but there may not be too many weak hands left! Anyway have been buying some biotechs that my dad has been bugging me for a long time to buy. He has made a ton of $$$ there the last 10 years and has made a number of friends of his millionaires the last few years managing their money. Got a good list if you are interested. Eric

what about this.. from DJN: In addition, Cisco's distribution partners have the option to return excess inventory and receive credits for price changes, which is another area of potential vulnerability for Cisco. "We have experienced losses due to customers failing to meet their obligations, "Cisco said in the "risk factor" section of its 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. "Although these losses have not been significant, future losses, if incurred, could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition." bambs
