<I noticed you are into TA. What do your tea leaves reveal?> In JDSU's case, there was a breakout gap formed between $117-3/4 and $125 recently. I was looking for an opportunity to buy when the gap filled. Today's decline not only filled that gap, but went even lower - a bearish sign. But remember, TA is not an exact science - experience and "intuition" is needed to fill the gaps (no pun intended) between perception and reality. I believed that the decline down to $115 was a slight "overshoot" amidst the panicky selloff, so I took a gamble to capitalize on the perceived opportunity. In hindsight, I walked away with 5k shrs at a pretty satisfactory average price of $115.90. So far so good... $120-3/4 RT.
