Agree on your point about being added to the S&P - With their recent acquisitions they will become the largest in terms of market cap not on the S&P. They are the largest. Not only that, two dot.coms (AOL/Yhoo) were not even this large when they were added to the index. I remember Yahoo being only at about 55 billion market cap before its addition. I still don't understand why we get two different market caps. Nasdaq.com---shows 347 million shares a a market cap of 80.9 billion. quotes.nasdaq-amex.com page=full&mode=basics&symbol=JDSU%60&selected=JDSU%60 Meanwhile Yahoo shows only 286 million shares and a market cap of 66.9 billion. biz.yahoo.com Why the discrepency in the number of shares outstanding? Could this mean that one figure includes the exchangeable shares still traded on the TSE while the other does not. I wonder if someone can clarify. S and P has not added a company this month to the S and P 500. Usually they make about 4 changes to this index every month. Surprised me that they did not add any this month. I would even go as far to say that they would be insane to not make JDSU the next addition. However, i don't mind because we have earnings this month, split in March and Earnings in April. February needs something and that may be a good month for JDSU to be added.
