CIEN definitely trades different than even 6 months ago...in the past CIEN would be the first to slide hard on any nasdaq weakness, now it holds its own and shows great strength on good nasdaq days...becoming a first tier company now...imo it is because the institutions can no longer stay out of this stock...institution ownership up from 50% to 65% in last 3 quarters alone.
