mindmeld, Thanks. They also repurchase stock. My question would be that if they are using to buy stocks to avoid dilution from employee options, does that not mean that real cash flow on a per share basis is in fact lower.

Maybe that is why the street does not seem to be buying the strong cash and cash flow story (at least so far). That is my hunch.
..or is it still the accounting treatment of inventories tha is still causing the nervousness?

mindmeld - no, I won't say cash earnings are mostly coming from options. Can't say that yet without the cash flow statement and balance sheet.

Seems to me that most appreciation in assets is coming from rebounds in investment vehicles between Oct and Jan. Plus real cash profits from the business net of chargeoffs (just because they used 0 cost inventory doesn't mean that the customer's cash vanishes).

I would feel more comfortable addressing cash-flow based questions with the facts of a cash flow statement in front of us. There's enough bald misrepresentation going on without adding to it.

mindmeid and threaders, Did you see in the Thursday's IBD that CSCO is getting into the Network storage area. Don't know whether this is good or bad. Any thoughts?
