Earlier today during Cisco's Q2'FY15 earnings conference call, it most certainly appeared that Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs became totally fed up with the outlandish hubris being spewed by Cisco's CEO, John Chambers.
How so?
Well, during the earnings call Q&A an exasperated Goldman Sachs analyst, Simona Jankowski, asked Chambers:
"But John, your tone seems even more bullish than kind of the numbers would suggest?
"And I mean, I couldn't count how many times you said that you have never been better positioned.
"And I just wanted to see if you can just provide another layer of detail behind that.
"So, just let us understand better what's behind that tone?"
At approximately the 39 minute time mark in the above audio, you can hear the exasperated Jankowski questioning the "tone" of Chambers for bragging about the dullard and rather ho-hum Cisco financial results as shown below:
