>> anyone have any strong opinions about Uniphase and fiberoptic?

I presume you mean jdsu??? We've analyzed them, and classified them as a King rather than a Gorilla, as we haven't been able to identify any ipr that would discourage competition from entering their sector. With the JDS/UNPH merger, they have a huge advantage in economy of scale, but I don't see them as a lock, a la Q. Otoh you can make a helluva killing from Kings, witness Dell over the last decade.

You have always been a gentleman to me, nephew, except when you tried to hit on my daughter <g>. She's your cousin, and I can't sanction incestuous thinking <vbg>.
