Cisco Syndrome for Google Stock?

Is Google Overstating Earnings?

http://online.wsj.com/article_print/0,,SB111396204075711625,00.html

"There's a blurb in the Wall Street Journal today that explains how Google's reported bottom line is being gamed by their own options program. It seems since they backloaded the options expense onto last year's earnings statement, this quarter's results will be ARTIFICIALLY BOOSTED almost 100%, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with their actual profitability as a business. Keep that in mind when they announce earnings tomorrow.

It's the same sort of trick Cisco pulled when their stock collapsed 80% back in 2000. They "wrote off" several billion dollars worth of equipment they said they could never be able to sell, and took a huge charge against earnings. Then over the following quarters they decided they'd sell that equipment after all, but it was all sold at a 100% profit margin since their "cost" was now free. This allowed Cisco to fool investors for a little while longer, and more importantly allowed their insiders to cash out billions."
