"It is certainly noteworthy that at the lows today CIEN was trading 5 1/4 points below "fair value", meaning the then price of TLAB * .8. Now the discount has narrowed to 2 3/4 points. Quite a change in sentiment in a few hours."

Just thinking the discount b/w CIEN and 0.8 x TLAB has shrunk considerably. Any reaon why? Perhaps CIEN is trading up on expectations that another offer is forthcoming (CSCO and LU have had nice days so far, could still use stock as currency. Obviously TLAB's shares have been dessimated). Or, is it the perception that these cos.' stocks have snapped back somewhat that makes the consummation of the TLAB deal more likely?

Thoughts?
