You are dead right about the exposure this stock is getting. Investor's Business Daily couldn't do more for this stock if they put BUY JDSU in big bold letters on the front page. :-) None-the-less I expect a drop this morning simply because of dilution due to the purchase of OCLI. It reminds me of Yahoo and how they were able to acquire while traditional companies could not. As a result they became very large. The good thing about JDS is that it is not an internet company and still able to do this!!! Actually, JDSU is an internet equipment provider. Where else is all that stuff going? :-) This is really the best way to play the internet.
