Ibexx Queen of Nasdaq--
She says "after the announcement that TLAB/CIEN deal was off--temporarily or permanently."
Ibexx--an announcement such as this was never made after Friday's close. The market had the information all day long that discussions would be DELAYED until early September, including the possibility that they could meet Tuesday. There were NEVER announcements that "the deal was off".
These were the headlines that crossed Friday after the close: DJ 08/21 [CIEN,T,TLAB] CIENA/TELLABS -3: RECOMMENDS MERGER UNDER PROXY TERMS DJ 08/21 [CIEN,T,TLAB] CIENA - BUSINESS OUTLOOK -2: CANCELED HLDRS MEETING DB 08/21 [DELL,CIEN,INTC] NASDAQ ACTIVES ON DAY: DELL COMPUTER, CIENA, INTEL.
