Could it be that LUMM's dramatic rise today spooked JDSU and was one of the factors causing JDSU's drop. LUMM was up over $8 today to close around $35. MOLX made additional investments into LUMM. Aren't they the Canadian company working on an optical chip that does what the passive/active components made by JDSU do at a fraction of the cost? Can someone comment concerning the technological implications that this chip would be to the likes of JDSU, SDLI, ETEK, etc? My understanding is that JDSU wanted a sample of this chip and LUMM told JDSU to get lost. Being a long-term holder of JDSU, this would concern me greatly if a technological breakthrough would render JDSU's components obsolete. I know I'm bringing up old stuff that was discussed a number of months ago on this thread. But that was when LUMM was trading at the low single digits. The rise of LUMM's stock price to $35 may have to be taken seriously. Just some thoughts. jmanvegas
