based upon the movement of the last few days, I think the street is expecting a split. Is this the kind of announcement the company would save for the annual meeting? Well, the Fed raised 1/2 and it appears to be Much Ado About Nothing. Sort of like the "end of timers" waiting on some mountain for the world to end. You have to wonder if they're disappointed to find themselves on terra firma with the sun still making its diurnal round. Switching topics somewhat radically, I've been looking for information on SDL's Greg Dougherty and found the following: lucent.com lucent.com lucent.com And from SDL's latest 14-A: Mr. Dougherty was appointed Chief Operating Officer of the Company upon creation of the position in August 1998. He joined the Company in March 1997 as Vice President, Communications Business Unit and Corporate Marketing and Sales. In June 1997, he was appointed Vice President Communications and Information Products. In December 1997, Mr. Dougherty was appointed Vice President, Components Group. Mr. Dougherty is also the President of SDL Optics. Prior to joining the Company, from 1989 to 1997, Mr. Dougherty was the Director of Product Management and Marketing at Lucent Technologies Microelectronics in the Optoelectronics Strategic Business Unit. From 1984 to 1989 he was employed by Laser Diode, Inc. in marketing and sales positions. Mr. Dougherty received a B.S. degree in Optics from Rochester University in 1983. >>>>> Based on recent comments that SDL's PIRI acquisition was influenced by LU, I'm wondering if Dougherty's background was responsible. Just passing the time while watching the market react to the Fed announcement. Pat
