re: "I'm thinking of shorting JDSU. Because of this."

Look at the chart for AOL at the beginning of 1999. It was added to the S&P on Jan 1 of that year. Also, consider that 50 million shares of JDSU MUST be bought. They must buy from current holders, regardless of when those holders bought the shares. I don't see what bearing the 153 shares recently purchased has on the situation.

Personally, I like KG3's strategy of selling calls into the runup.

If you are looking for ways to play this addition to the S&P, consider that there will be some downward pressure of other stocks in the S&P, since shares in those must be sold to purchase JDSU. Not a huge amount, but a couple of million shares for some stocks. (Can't take credit for this thought -- saw the analysis on realmoney.com)
