DS i would also like to add that THE "engineering" advantage is not simply a quantity issue. Having more is an advantage only if the quality of engineers is higher then that of your competition. The business world is full of examples where smaller companies out engineer and manuver larger companies with larger resources, both human and financial. Q is one good example. This is not to say jdsu doesn't have the brightest and best. It is however something i would place low on my list for investing in a company. I would rather make that decision based on the actual superiority of the products produced, rather then trying to guess who is smarter in advance. 100

A quick correction of the sort of error we all make from time to time requires adding one important word to DownSouth's post: "A company does not "own" its talent. It only rents them, feeds them, and makes them smarter. When the talent leaves, (it will someday) the company not only loses that talent, but another company gets it." --Mike Buckley
