Lizzie, RE: However, Cisco is still a growth company, it doesn't pay dividends whereas tobacco companies do. It is true that Cisco doesn't pay dividends. That is a fact. It is an opinion whether Cisco is a growth company or not. Growth companies grow revenues and earnings. Notwithstanding the debate about accounting, Cisco may be growing earnings, but they aren't growing revenues. . If you don't think Cisco's growth projections have any merit, why bother being here? I really am curious about this. First of all, I didn't say that Cisco's growth projections have no merit. I said that they were particularly important from a qualitative perspective. Secondly, Cisco is the largest player in an important industry. It would be folly for me to not follow Cisco closely. Unless, of course, I never invested in growth stocks, in which case I would be ignoring Cisco right now.
