I am still trying to figure out how the heck CSCO can write off $2.5 b of inventory. They finished the last Q with total net inventory of $2.533 billion. For a theoretically well run company, Cisco is out of control.

just as a reminder for the think-tank on this thread that believe intel is far too conservative -- these days the bucks in the piggy bank call the shots -- "To show how out of control CSCO's balance sheet has gotten, they're writing of $2.5 billion of inventory. The most recent quarter shows that CSCO had TOTAL net inventory of $2.533 billion. " Message 15669198
