Hi Pat, I am here. Great day for this company (holding call options). I guess i was right about the stock split after all. It sure helps them in potential acquisitions. I think the rise in the stock price may allow them to "pay" more for new companies than they would have if the stock was significantly lower.
Looking for ETEK to make their announcement soon because they would want to be better valued if all their competitors or potential partners' stock prices are going through the roof.

I also noticed that Ortel has shot up again (expecting a stock split soon). Glad i held on to that one as well.

This is a great sector.
Greg Maffei's departure from Microsoft to Wordwide Fibre (private company) is a further indicator of this.

Good Luck

Hi Pat. I'm occasionally here too. Bought JDSU a couple of months ago and have been looking for a entry point to buy SDLI. Apparently that point was yesterday. Oh well, I've been loading up on Netopia and even Westell. Yup, our old arch nemesis Westell. WSTL has been undergoing a transformation and the posters are a bit more mature then in the old days. Have a Merry Christmas and Good Speed in a Prosperous New Year.
