Wednesday October 28, 11:39 pm Eastern Time Cisco predicts 25 pct revenue growth BUENOS AIRES, Oct 28 (Reuters) - A top official at U.S.-based Cisco Systems Inc (Nasdaq:CSCO - news), the world's biggest computer network equipment vendor, said Wednesday company revenues will likely rise to more than $10 billion in the current fiscal year. ''We don't provide projections other than to say that our expectation is that we will grow at a rate of 25-plus-percent,'' John Morgridge, chairman of Cisco's board, told Reuters in an interview in Buenos Aires, referring to revenues. ''If you do that calculation it says that this year we will do over $10 billion,'' he said. In the fiscal year ended July, Cisco reported revenues of $8.46 billion, up 31 percent on the prior period. ''You will get a better insight when we release our first quarter earnings,'' Morgridge said. The company is expected to announce those results on November 4. When asked where that growth will come from, he said: ''Our strength is based on very good business to the service provider market.'' When the company reported fourth quarter earnings in August, it said it continued to gain market share at the expense of competitors across its range of businesses, which include data network products for companies, phone company service providers and small and medium businesses.

Glen - All kidding aside he's fun to taunt! And he is the most incredible bear we have seen. He's like the Monty Python charector who gets his legs and arms cut off and still wants to fight and still has an attitude! It's like the dork on the school bus, it's hard to resist messing with him! Welcome to the thread!!!! Zeem

"Don't listen/respond to LT - he's an idiot" it's about free speech though. nothing can be more important in this medium. ...but if you'd quit hiding his medication, we might get somewhere with him.<g> welcome, once again.

Hi, Glen! We could be telling the Devil not to sin. I support your sentiments, but believe LT's has an agenda with his sour supercilious posts: to do as much damage and create as much discomfort and fear among Dell stockholders as he can, particularly new ones. To get them off balance and so to suffer serious financial injury. He surely has a hidden interest, for he ignores truth, never supplies evidence, just diatribe. If Dell is so risky a good person would present careful facts, not cry Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! What sane person would persist so relentlessly, redundantly droning on and on and on, making an incessant fool of himself with unfulfilled predictions? What motives energize such effort but a bad ones? A normal person would desist eventually. This is not a foible or fallacy, there's a plan here, dishonorable, evil and dangerous to the inexperienced and vulnerable. LT is worse than a bore, he's despicable! Welcome to the thread, Glen! I know you will enjoy and benefit from the constant expert input here, as I have. Go Dell! Don

I think I understand where LT is coming from. He thinks that a year or two from now all stocks will be trading at or below book value. DELL's book value then could be the $3-5 LT talks about. If you think the market is going into that kind of hole it could make sense to buy long-term puts on DELL as it has a very high price to book ratio. I don't believe this scenario though I too think DELL is overvalued. Something like $30 makes much more sense if the market crashes. David
