JDSU is not a Canadian company. It is American based after the merger. Uniphase, an American company, took control after they acquired JDS Fitel. JDSU does have significant operations up here (like many other companies). I wish i had saved the posts of a couple of knowledgable people who explained the issue. JDU trade as Canadian for RRSPs. I believe the company may have been accomodating canadian mutual fund holders. I will see if i can dig up those posts (or maybe someone else can--especially the person who posted the explanation).

jdsu will be added to the s$p 500 soon.... there are no current restrictions on foreign companies being include in s&p 500...some are already there eg. nortel however speculation is that in the near future only american companies will be in s&p 500 because s&p will be developing a new canadian index and will not want duplications again however jdsu in an american company....therefore no current or future restrictions and of course that beautiful extra valuation not accorded to "foreigners"
