morning, eduardo. Just lurked the JDSU thread, some fund manager sold all his JDSU and bought SDLI because he's worried about the deal, I guess that scared some threadsters. Clarification: I still can't get my head wrapped around buying one company in order to get another (as in COMS-PALM, ETEK-JDSU, etc). The discount didn't seem worth the risk to me. Are you buying CSCO today or waiting until later in the week post-split? flygal

Love your posts. Always look for red flags, they are often there for a reason. I would be very, very wary on an arbitrage play if the pros are getting cold feet. One wonders about the staying power of the individual investor if a prolonged tanking of the market were to occur. I would not anticipate this but the biggest mistake for an investor is to assume anything and to take things for granted. The longer I do this the more I feel that you have to question everything. If you do, you get to invest for another day. Rule #1 protect your capital, question everything, and don't fall in love with a stock, a sector, or a concept. New killer wireless ap from Seattle?
