pat, i think that you have a far better understanding of jdsu than the analysts do. but i've listened to the analysts and kevin and joseph and tony for several years and i respect tony's firm response to stupid and/or off-base questions. frankly, i've been surprised by the low intelligence or down-right sophomoric questions from the "analysists". the press reports of the recent conference call show how low is the level of the analyists' understanding. finally, i'd like to discuss with you "market manipulation" which you mentioned. i don't think shorting is "manipulation". i think that spreading misinformation or false rumors is manipulation. i also think than if mutual fund managers agree over lunch to sell the hell out of a stock so that they can but it back cheaper--that is manipulation. but simply shorting is legit in my book, although i've never done it. when i mentioned riding the tiger i may have used the wrong metaphor. what i meant to impart is that this market is a real battle between the bulls and the bears and that there are some tough and powerful characters out there who care only for their own profits regardless of the cost to others.
