I agree; I've been stashing some cash for the Y2K effect because personally I want to be fully vested after the Y2K fluke it over, and undoubtedly, I want to be the proud owner of some additional JDSU shares. Keep me updated on any relevant finding. Bretsky

Serge, Even at the current price, this is a "traders" stock or a "momentum play." If one understands short term trading or momentum-style investing and one has a good track record in one or both of these areas, then jump right in when knowledge tells you to. If one doesn't, then I belive this is a muggs game and one is acting in the role of sorcerer's apprentice. For the apprentice's game, repeat the following incantation: "Pull-backs like this are normal in JDSU, and the price always jumps right back up, so this is a really rare buying opportunity, and slurp at the trough now so's you don't feel left behind." (Sorry for the run-on sentence but that's exactly the way it is written in this here book of old stock market incantations.) Value investors do not usually invest at these levels in a stock with this market psychology. (Lest anyone jump in with the 'fibre is the future and this company has crazy-big growth,' I believe all of that. More than ever.) Ciao, David Todtman
