Yesterday A.M. I purchased $5,000 worth of JDSU for my 4th grader @ $187.00. I told my friends on the train to work that in ten years when my daughter is ready for college I'll be able to say, "If you purchased $5,000 worth of JDSU ten years ago you would be worth $??????." Any way she is ahead 27% in 2 days........ Fun food for thought. Andy Richter

Regarding S&P 500 money Check this post from July '99 Message 10435345 The current market cap is in the neighborhood of 12-13 trillion. JDSU's current market cap excluding ETEK is 68 billion. Therefore the percentage is roughly between 0.52-0.56% I believe Vanguard index fund alone is in the area of 100 billion. The last reference I had was the 700 Billion dollars in the pension and index funds mimicking the S&P. Again that was 6 months ago. They would need to buy 3.6 billion dollars worth of shares and at today's close at ~$238, that would require 15 million shares to be bought as of today. Of course with the OCLI merger and ETEK merger, the market cap will balloon even further causing a larger market cap weighted position. Currently 6 and 15 billion respectively. The numbers are boggling, and of course assumes JDSU holds its price. Definitely a major short squeeze is happening. The only thing that will shut it down would be a secondary offering to appease the shorts and institutions. Later
