Bought Nortel at $65.75 for my RRSP after the halt today. Threw in a little TD Bank as well. JDS Uniphase looks like they did well after the market close. We'll see what happens: Shaking Off Lucent Woes, JDS Beats Targets By Scott Moritz Senior Writer 10/26/00 4:38 PM ET Updated from 4:17 p.m. EDT: Optical component maker JDS Uniphase (JDSU:Nasdaq - news) Thursday beat Wall Street's earnings and revenue expectations, temporarily quieting fears of a widespread slowdown among makers of Internet gear. JDS reported pro forma first-quarter earnings of 18 cents a share. That beat the First Call/Thomson Financial consensus by 2 cents and more than doubled the year-ago 8-cent profit. First-quarter revenue jumped 23% from fourth-quarter levels and 171% from a year ago, hitting $786.5 million for the period. One analyst said he expected revenue to rise only to $763 million. The strong results suggest JDS shook off latest-period troubles at big equipment maker Lucent (LU:NYSE - news), whose most recent earnings shortfall this week cost the job of CEO Rich McGinn. Lucent accounted for 22% of JDS' business in recent quarters. JDS' results will be closely watched by investors, who fled the once-hot optical sector Wednesday after equipment bellwether Nortel (NT:NYSE - news) failed to hit Wall Street's ambitious revenue targets. JDS rallied late Thursday after swooning earlier. The stock rose $3.50 to $74.50 after plunging 25% to 71 on Wednesday
