No sure why but this reminds me of ASCEND after they acquired CASCADE-
The street (esp day traders) just do not understand the strategic importance of the last two acquisitions that CIEN made. When ASCEND bought CASCADE the street was down on them; but they converted it into a $20B buyout by LU. If they had not bought CASCADE and not marketed the GBX550 ATM switch, then LU would not have paid $1B. These acquisitions by CIEN will position it as a MUST HAVE for one of the big players and they will have to pay dearly to get control. So load up while the getting is good would be my advise.
