big advantages for JDSU imo are steady strong growth, zero political issues weighing on the stock/company, fullboat product offering, huge infra buildout

big disadvantage is simple: trading at 61 times sales
earnings growth rate is now annually what, 75%
an argument could be made that it has priced in y2002 sales

comparison of Price/Sales:
JNPR Juniper = 138/1
JDSU = 61/1
FDRY Foundry = 47/1
CREE = 40/1
RNWK = 38/1
NTAP = 36/1 (higher after today)
CSCO = 30/1
ELON = 22.5/1
ORCL = 22/1
QCOM = 19.6/1
INTC = 13/1
CNXT = 6.7/1
NT = 6/1
LU = 4.9/1
