Your view is not a popular one. The long threads are littered with people who love their stock and harpoon anyone who thinks differently. The old Dell thread comes to mind. My little 7 year old daughter loved a stock because of who gave it to her and what it represented. She doubled the original investment in a few months which for a non-internet $80 stock was pretty good. No matter how much she loved that stock she knew the name of the game even at seven years old. She ended up netting almost double the investment and now the stock is back to where it started. You should fall in love with people, not stocks. By the way, your boyfriend sounds like the "real deal and not a cheap imitation". I hope you enjoy that Lladro. I bet he didn't give it to you at the signing event for fear you would attract too much attention with your reaction...or maybe he just wanted the immediate reward. Satanico Pandemonium, eh??? :-)))

And all should be aware there have been stocks that have been glory leaders that ended up never getting out of their funk to see the ole' glory days The difference, in JDSU's case, is that it is really still in its prime (unlike DELL, MSFT, YHOO, INTC, QBOMB, CSCO, etc.). Although there is a lot of volatility, the market has not yet taken out and shot high-margin equipment makers, who are still growing 100%+ a year and giving guidance for same, simply cuz they have "high valuations" (Exhibit I is JNPR). That doesn't mean JDSU couldn't go to 45 without some cautionary guidance, but it'd be a first, IMHO. My guess is, if JDSU continues to fire on all cylinders, it will tread water or move up, market conditions permitting. Any kind of cautionary guidance and all bets are off (look at NOK to see what happens when you lower guidance). I don't think that's likely for JDSU real soon. but it is short sighted to think that nothing can ever happen to your stock..no matter what stock it might be...with MAYBE the exception of GE :-). No, even GE will be taken out and shot once Welch leaves and people realize it is just a glorified finance company that could trade at one-third its current value in a bad market, and if it were valued like its financial brethren, IMHO.

JDSU finally moved that 5 points. Judging from the date of one of your posts I would say you should now be in the black on this trade. Perhaps you should have followed that friend of yours that usually does well on the timing of his JDSU trades ;-). I wonder where Yogi is with his buy/sell signals. I watched American Psycho last night. I found the black humor interesting to say the least. There were many times during the movie when I thought of the people on Wall Street. A few times my mind wandered to the snake pit of the Chicago Options Exchange and the S & P futures pit. There was one time when he was outlining his beauty regimen that I REALLY thought of a certain high maintenance female. Of course, she is not that bad but she does comes very close. :-) By the way, how was the Lladro event?
