Robert - I know that Furakawa is still a very large holder of JDSU stock, but it has recently sold a large portion of its JDSU holdings. I'm sure your numbers take this into account, but I think the thread should be aware that Furukawa has divested and will continue to divest their JDSU holdings. My goal for investing is to make money. If Furukawa did sell the JDSU shares (which they only sold a portion according to my contacts - I'm using 18% remaining instead of the last reported 22%) then I really did just buy dollar bills for 38 cents or so. Seriously, it would make my day if that happened. If it did the markets would bid the company up to levels to incorporate the cash. Anyway, Furukawa also has a very delightful optics business that I also hope they monetise. Anyway, I hope you understand my point that making money is what this is about, not owning and falling in love with a company - a liquidation of the JDSU would return well in excess of 50% after tax.
