I hate to bring this up in a forum such as this, but JDSU is actually a pretty good buy right now and will become better in a few months.

I'm waiting for a merger for which JDSU is paying cash plus stock to close by 9/30 before I buy. The price because of dilution should go at least into the 1.30s or 1.20s by then. It is likely go to 2.5 or more within a few months.

Who says you cannot make money out of bubbles?

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the bubble bursting effect of a hedge fund crash. The history--who the hell ever reads that?--suggests that after LTCM a Congressional proposal was made to regulate hedgies in 1999 but it failed thanks to the argument that they are not heavily leveraged creatures, only to a max of 2-1.

Well, history is repeating itself, but this time with a vengeance thanks to the accumulated hedge "assets" which are probably leveraged at way more than 2-1 and which in toto make LTCM look like a lemonade stand.
