I've studied accounting in more detail than I care to remember. I have a masters and a cpa. Although, Cisco does have some accounting issues around options and pooling and the writeoffs they need to take, they are a fundamentally sound company with a pile of cash and investments and no debt. That is what is the most important thing in a downturn. They will be able to weather it no problem, although the stock may languish.

Posting 51171 from John Shannon is doing some "accounting fundamentals before making such statements." Challegenging the brains is positive it is not negative as it appears in the surface of it. Had we made such statements when the going was good -call it "thinking the unthinkable"- many people would be better off now. Perhaps some people would have different decisions, who knows. It is all about educating all of us.
