For all those longs out there that need some encouragement I thought I would reflect back on a previous October. I picked October 1998 and a fantastic stock CIEN. Here are 2 back to back posts. You really should peak at this chart first though. finance.yahoo.com ______________________________________________________________________ Ciena Outlook :)))) by: pjj2178 (39/M/Davidsonville, MD) 10/9/98 7:12 pm Msg: 15011 of 120293 I am a former Bell Atlantic employee and know what Ciena's products can do. I was happy the deal with Tellabs fell through because I felt it was not a good match, rather a merger with a telecom service provider would be more likely. The need for bandwidth with the internet and the need for telecom carriers, both long distance and local, to upgrade network capacities to provide this capacity will decide Ciena's future. The failed merger with Tellabs has afforded me the opportunity to get in at 13,12,11, and 8.5. If I could afford more I would buy it. Looking to ride Ciena into a 7 figure portfolio. My suggestion is buy all you can afford. If you get nervous, wait for a bounce and sell. I'm betting you'll be sorry if you do. _______________________________________________________________________ Why I'm outa here by: StockosaurusRex 10/9/98 7:12 pm Msg: 15012 of 120293 1. The stock can't find it's bottom with one hand. 2. Where's the leadership? This stock's been through the ringer and they don't seem to give a damn. Say something. 3. Leads in technology don't last very long, especially for small companies. Take advantage now, or lose it. Wake up. 4. Other, better stock opportunities. 5. Good luck to all. I think one day CIEN will recover, maybe bigtime, maybe next week. Just too risky right now. Time for me to recover.
