On the surface JDSU should do better, but if QCOM fell to say 80 or 70, which it could very well do, then QCOM might be a better buy. In the near term, QCOM will probably stabilize since it has fallen very far. JDSU is very unpredictable. Remember when it took a nose dive in early December, only to bounce back by the end of that month to new highs. I would say that Q is less risky but also has less upside. JDSU is riskier but has much better potential. It is still trading up for the month! I finally bought some QCOM shares today (around 110)but i won't hold them if it drops to 100 to 102 range. If Q drops into the 80/90 range, JDSU will also be in more trouble short term. I take the big caps (MSFT/INTC/CSCO/Dell) holding up better than the rest of the Naz as a bit of an encouraging sign.

Thanks Greg- I know you hate questions like that. Under ordinary circumstances I'm able to ride out turbulence. The past couple of weeks (seems like months) have been the worst for me since Oct '97. If things just stabilize for the next three months I'll be happy. Somehow, though, I suspect we'll see continued "accelerated change" in the market. If it used to take months, it now seems to take weeks. re: "if QCOM fell to say 80 or 70" My God...how low can this realistically go? Nothing in the economy has changed from a month ago. If the Market wants to take back some profit or curb speculation, seems to me this is sufficient. At some point doesn't everyone lose? In whose interest is a crash? Darin
