k,

I've got a couple of ideas that might be helpful. Or might not. :)

So, since then, JDSU is up roughly 25% and QCOM is down about 43%. Never would have thunk it.

Why not? Prior to that Qualcomm got a huge amount of media attention. I'm not sure of the timing of the one analyst using a $250 target price but that, combined with the mo-mo players, place a huge amount of non-fundamental power behind the stock. My point is that it rose so high on somewhat artificial reasoning that it should not be a big surprise that it fell while JDSU rose.

I just can't see [QCOM and JDSU] continuing this divergent trend.

Both companies' core products are in a tornado. Over the medium term of a couple years I agree. Paying attention to anything less than that assuming fundamentals remain reasonably unchanged, I'd ignore the short-term comparisons of their stock action.
