You might want to hold off, this sell-off is accelerating, and we could get another round of margin calls in the am. If you do take a position, take maybe a 1/4 position, and then add on weakness. 1/4, 1/4, then 1/2. Like that. KM

Connor26: If you want to buy JDSU or any other stock that's taken a hit...you might consider buying on a scale down...100 at 72, 100 at 71, 100 at 69 and so on. Then place your sell-stops, after looking at the chart, where you deem appropriate, and where you can tolerate the pain if you're wrong and get stopped out. If you're fortunate and the stock rallies, you can let 'em go, 100 at a time on scale-up selling. I know some hedge-fund traders do this. It's not foolproof, but I use this tactic occasionally and find it works....occasionally. (Lee)
