John, I think you're right on all counts, and I think the market agrees with you since the price of CIEN is still higher than it was when the merger was announced (if memory serves me correctly). Given all of the CIEN bad news, I would expect the stock to be trading around $20 if the market did not feel an acquisition was in the offing.

All of CIEN's problems appear to me to be of a short-term nature. If its true, as you and Craig and others agree, that the merger is really a technology purchase, then the merger will go through. But market forces cannot be ignored, so I'm guessing that the deal will be much sweeter for TLAB.

In my next post I will provide some hypotheticals that I think may work well for all concerned.

TTFN,
CTC
