Hey, just 5-6 weeks ago the Naz was lower than this by about 160 points or so. I know it hurts but hey, unless you are an options holder sucking wind on time eating at your position, or getting those pesky margin calls, then ride it out! Don't sell in here. Buy! And buy quality. They will come back. Invictus, on JDSU, fiber has been hit. Look at GLW, NT, CIEN, et al. Hey, we've seen this BS many times before and rode those previous times out just fine. I can't imagine bad news on JDSU given what we know about that baby. Except that reference they made in the analysts meeting last week to the ETEK merger costing them more than they expected might surprise us. Oh well, when my friends see red, I see opportunities. In that first week in August, 6 weeks ago, the Naz went down around 3565 or something like that, and yet 3 weeks later it was over 4200. In mid-July, it was pushing 4300 before falling back. We have earnings season around the corner. The big ones like JDSU and that elk have not warned have they? Don't think so. I tell ya, I can't help but think the big guys are going to be laughing all the way to the bank by year end. They ain't going to be laughing at me. I'm going to kick their butt. I got stopped out of some JDSU calls today, Troops. I hated to see it happen but the importance of having a plan paid off. Around 100 was about where I needed to protect some profits, so I had stops set. I didn't have to wring my hands and get all emotional when I saw the red today, I simply said to myself... "Stay on target. You manage the market, don't let it manage you. Let your plan execute." And I did. Now I take that cash and move on, probably more in EXTR. Bring it on. This BULL is ready. RR
