Note that the inventory allowance has increased sharply as of late, which would give CSCO a little earnings protection as they draw down the inventory.

This may be offset by an increasing allowance for bad accounts.

tuck,re inventory allowance the way i'v e looked at it inventory went up 500 million to much.

That is huge as it helped margins by 8%.

I don't know how much allowance they have.

I have looked at sales growth verus inventory growth from quarter before.

The turkey is coming home to roost i think.
