I dumped my ETEK this morning to pick up a lot of Ortel (ORTL). I remember reading the press release making reference to other possible acquisitions--in source and pump lasers as well as signal modulators. I decided that Ortel was a great speculative buy--got a bargain at about 102 to 104 range for my buy orders. In the Merrill Lynch cc a while ago, Ortel was listed as JDSU's competitor but is smaller than either of SDLI or ETEK. The stock has since started moving up. I am planning to hold this one until i see an acquisition. Sure would solve some of JDSU's capacity problems. Just my humble opinion.
