CIEN management did a WONDERFUL thing. If you are a short-term trader, maybe you disagree. If you are a long term investor, come back in a year, check the stock price, and smile. These two acquisitions SIGNIFICANTLY enhance CIEN's future prospects and competitiveness.
If the stock market doesn't get that yet, big deal. This is very complex technology, and 99.9% of wall street has no clue about technology - ie, REALLY understanding it. Someday when CIEN announces the sales/profits from the product line they are now beginning to form, all kinds of "Buy" ratings will emerge, saying that CIEN's stock price of $35 should grow to "our target price" of $44 within a year, or whatever. Those guys are clowns.
Believe it or not, the "losing $1 a day" will stop well before it hits zero. Then it will either trickle along, flat price chart on really light volume (if there is no news/upgrades) or will suddenly pick itself up off the floor and surge (again) as it has in the last few months when rumors/news send this stock up.
Relax and wait. |
