From today's IBD, a glimpse of what JDS has in store for OFC: ". . .So next week, the company's rolling out no less than 30 new switches, modules and other electronic gear designed to move sound and pictures quickly along communications networks. The company says it will be able to quadruple today's top fiber-optic speeds with this slate of new products. "We have made extensive investments in new product development to serve the rapidly changing needs of our customers," said Jozef Straus, co-chairman, president and chief operating officer of JDS Uniphase. "In the first six months of fiscal 2000 we invested almost $40 million in new product development. . . ."

Guy- I gotta disagree with you. Frankly, I couldn't care less about a trendline. Heck, I barely know what it is. I do not trade stocks. I'm not that smart. But one thing I have learned is to hold onto to Gorilla(like) companies, and unless the fundamentals change, do not sell. Take CSCO, for example. I gotta beleive many a trendline was broken in past few yrs (it has some nasty, 50% corrections). But selling that 900 pounder would have been a mistake. The prospects of JDSU (again, unless something negative afffects the grip on fiber optics switches/modules and all) make this is a hold for me for the next several years. Trend Lines be damned.

Thanks for the input. I do not do alot of TA, just study the basics, decide if the industry is going to be there in twenty years and how it will look. I then try to hold those companies that reshape the industry that reshapes America. Optics, wireless, and internet incubators seem to be the way to go although Nanotechnology and biotechnology both have promise, I just am not sure which horse of the herd is the dominate stallion and which is going to get culled. You do not always win by betting on the strong v. the weak but it sure puts the odds in your favor. Lucent and ICGE are my most recent purchases and fit those parameters. Another good year and my goals, already tempered, will shift from the making of capital and the associated higher risk to the preservation of capital and less exposure to some of the high fliers. Semper Fidelis, Jarhead
