OK fair enough, but what I am saying is that Cisco can continue to give out options if they want, because the stock is going nowhere. Virtually all options cisco has granted over the past 6 years are underwater at this point, there is no there there. They should stop granting them, but even if they don't it doesn't matter. They will expire worthless. Meanwhile Cisco generates a ton of cash every quarter, and their competition is fading away. Soon they will be like a tobacco company, generating cash and not growing, same with Intel. MSFT on the other hand has high prices on their products that won't hold, competition is eating at them.
