Hi Jean

If you are sure that you want to own the shares, then you need to ask if you will need the margin generated by purchasing the stock to buy something else. If you have to kick in $120 per share of cash or existing margin, you may not generate much more margin depending on what the margin requirements are at your brokerage for JDSU. I have been hearing that some brokerages have raised their margin requirements for JDSU as of late.

If you are simply going to exercise the options and hold the stock (don't care about additional margin), I cannot think of a reason to exercise them early (that doesn't mean that there aren't any<g>). You may as well wait until expiration and use the $120 per share to play something else, or just collect interest on it.
