I agree that Cisco shouldn't buy back stock because it would be hard to make a dent in the float even with the large cash hoard Cisco has. But to pay a dividend? That would be collossally stupid. So with all your sarcasm to Eric, your own suggestion was no better. Cisco's best bet at this point is to use their cash AND stock to invest in the host of startups that can't get good funding because the funding has dried up. Right now, the capital markets are scared and that means they aren't operating efficiently. Cisco can step in and position themselves in a great way for the future. LOL. A fast growing tech company pay a dividend? Can you say opportunity cost? <vbg>

You are entertaining me! I never said I wanted Cisco to buy back it's shares. I would rather they use that asset to buy other companies or technologies. If you were not so condescending people would respond to you. I retired over 18 years ago when I was making much more money in the markets than my high tech job and realized a dream. To be my own boss in control of my own destiny. My record speaks for itself so I don't need to tell you private information. You picked the argument, not me.
