If someone goes in to buy Ciena, isn't it true that they get to open up the books? Why can't a buyer (CSCO) take a look see, make a good judgment whether the earnings for '99 look like .20 or 1.20, and then decide to make a play or not. What's the harm in that? I guess I don't understand why a buyer should wait until things "settle down." It seems to me that at that point the public will also have a grip on the earnings outlook and the share price will presumably reflect that fair value. JMO
