MileHigh Even if there is a slight drop, and I don't think there will be, it will rebound quickly during the day. The stock has shot up after the last few acquisitions because they were immediately recognized as being highly strategic by analysts. Not withstanding the number crunching, I believe this is another of one of those gems of an acquisition. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Blaireo

To all - here is the Hoover's Online capsule for E-Tek. (I had never heard of it, despite being a JDSU shareholder). hoovers.com E-Tek Dynamics is helping communication networks light up. The company makes passive components used in fiber-optic networks to route and guide light. Its products include optical isolators, filters, couplers, and wavelength division multiplexing products (which allow optical fiber to carry more data and graphic and voice information without requiring more lines). Alcatel, Pirelli, and Corning (each a major player in the growing fiber-optic communications industry) together account for about 60% of E-Tek's sales. Silicon Valley venture capital firm Summit Partners owns 43% of E-Tek, and wife-and-husband team Theresa and J. J. Pan, Chinese immigrants who founded the company in 1983, own about 33%.
