Yeah Berney, the mania is still upon us as we continue to see a market that is a voting machine.

I keep coming back to CSCO. I recall many a heated discussion 12 months ago when CSCO was near its highs. It seems unbelievable to folks now that they could have held those clown beliefs, but hey, I think many still are holding/buying on nothing but hope/hype.

Here's the question for me: Can anybody please explain why this company has a market-cap of $140 BILLION or so when it has no earnings and no visibility.

$140 BILLION! That's about #9 or so in the S&P 100. So it's worth more than 90% of America's largest 100 companies. Err, cuz...??

It would make me laugh if it weren't so perverse. CSCO told us recently to expect a further decline in revenues next quarter, so hey, it's probably going to have to report a loss. Of course, it actually already incurred a loss, but with the art of Pro Formagic reporting, it showed a profit.

My mind must work too simply to understand why anyone would want this in their portfolio.

Berney, certainly your last experiment proved that GAAPs (pun intended) exist in GAAP! Unfortunately, knowing this fact alone makes me suspect of all the rest.

Good Luck
