U didn't listen back on that cdma stock either when I told ya but we won't get into that. Listen up.... my view on JDSU. Like I told you the other day, when the news on the SDLI thing came out I believe you were down in Cuba so you may have missed some of the posts. I said then, and several times since then, that I felt that had the SDLI news not come out, that me and Jim Willie's forecast for JDSU to hit 150 was right on. Still do. But, due to SDLI being stuck to JDSU's hip, so to speak, I do not believe JDSU will move but a little above the Naz until the SDLI thing is decided in December. I have been optimistic that the Naz will make a run on 5000. Yeah, call me the ultimate bull, but I still do think it will. I figured that JDSU would move at least with the Naz but a bit more,and that is all. I have based my accumulating the Dec calls on that premise. Likewise, I set stops that hit a week or so ago which cut into the Dec position. I accumulated a March position. But, I'm not adding anymore JDSU. I am moving on. So, short answer is that I think JDSU will move at least with the Naz and maybe a little better up to when the SDLI issue is decided. I do not see it breaking out on one of those terror type momentum moves we'd like to have seen to 150. Don't think it will happen realistically. On your Decembers, you must consider where JDSU is now and how much it will get beat down with this INTC mess and anything else that might happen near term. Time is running. Do you cut losses and preserve what capital you can, or wait, see if there will be an earnings run and Naz recovery in Oct. Don't know. Tough call, but I would not wait and let them be run into the ground. You can do the math. You of all people know what I mean when I talk about recovery required to breakeven on a call option. Good luck, John. RR
