Uncle Frank: JDSU is a fine investment but not a gorilla and probably will not qualify under the GG rules for a long time, if ever. No lock or control. JDSU does fit the criteria for a king though IMO because of its major lead in fiber component supply and other royalty characteristics. Would welcome other views on that of course.

With the JDS Fitel merger with Uniphase it is now the leader in both active and passive components supplied to companies such as LU and NT for the fiber systems. It is well ahead of the second company in fiber optic component supply SDLI. Memory is that it has at least twice the sales that SDLI has so fits that criteria for a king. Growth is very impressive. Management has received excellent reviews. Considered to be in right place at right time in fiber area.

Would be very pleased to hear Mike's evaluation, but he explained earlier that research on JDSU was not among his priorities. Perhaps that has changed, but I doubt it.

For anyone interested, here is a link to my One Gorilla, One King, One Significant Other game. Data may be useful. JDSU is the King I picked.
