A post from Yahoo quoting stockwinners.com stating that JDSU to be added to the S and P 500 (rumor). Appears to be only a rumor. I don't know about the stockwinners.com source. If someone is familiar, they may want to post it. thanks.http://messages.yahoo.com/bbs?action=m&board=4687941&tid=unph&sid=4687941&mid=24465 I am still sticking to my belief that it will happen very soon considering the market cap and being the dominant player in the sector. Now at annualized 1 billion in revenue as well.

t2 thanx for your input. I do not short stocks. I am more of a bottom fisher. I agree with 180-185 =strong= short term base for JDSU. My concern is that we seem to have done away with inflation ( as in permanently defeated ). I am not psychologically ready yet to run up against a moving train. As Martin Zweig said, " don't fight the Fed ": if the Fed starts raising interest rates to slow a hot economy when do we stop? Historically it has always required from 4 to 5 raises over 7 to 8 months to do the job. So long term I am very cautious. Short term, I am looking for trading opportunities. If I trade I'like to have a strong stock like JDSU to work with, knowing that I would be comfortable to hold/and buy more at lower prices, if I should by chance get stuck with it. ( That's becoming less and less likely now; I have changed my trading routine so that unless I can monitor on the PC continuously the situation i forgo trading for that day and sit on cash ), TA Message #4360 from t2 at Jan 12 2000 1:15PM Tunica, I would trade JDSU long rather than short. A company that is capacity contrained is not a good one for shorting (even on a trading basis). At least i would not feel comfortable with it. I would say that 180 to 185 is a strong base for JDSU for SHORT TERM term trading basis. The upcoming PPI and CPI numbers have already resulted in some selloff ahead of the number even while mutual fund inflows are strong. Therefore, it would not suprise me to see a rally late day ahead of the number (PPI) tomorrow. If not, a rally on the news. Only the retail sales number concerns me since we could have the millenium Christmas shopping season being much stronger than under normal conditions. I bet many bought more gifts and more expensive gifts to mark the end of the millinium. Of course this would be a one time thing anyways. As long as it is recognized as such, even this number may not be problem.
