Pat, Saw Bob O'brien on CNBC link weakness at Lucent to JDSU. I can't believe some of the sources these people have. It did not occur to him to mention that Lu's strongest business was Microelectronics unit (semi and fibre optic components). When a company as bad as Lucent has this bright spot, you can get the independent component makers like JDSU/SDLI are doing really well.

I think they should have read a few of the research reports this morning before trying to make the connection. I bet Ciena and others are getting a bigger chunk from JDSU. It could also mean those players with smaller inhouse component capabilities (like CIEN) could put a bigger demand on JDSU.

I am still taking JDSU's need to increase authorized shares from 3 billion to 6 billion as a good sign. They don't need the shares for the SDLI deal. All evidence points to a booming business and a possibility that the company will blowout earnings. The ETEK/JDSU supply agreement prior the merger might also be kicking in now---ie. the post merger synergies.
