Cisco can't sell calls. That would violate SEC rules. Interesting. In any case, they are giving away valuable options to employees in lieu of comparable cash compensation. The Bubble Apologists refuse to acknowledge this. As a result of share bloat, the number of Cisco shares now exceeds the world's population. Need to sell a lot of routers to attach some real earnings to each and every one of the 7.5 billion shares and counting. Of course, since Bubble Apologists don't care about real earnings but only about pro forma "what-if scenarios", perhaps it doesn't matter to them.
