Interesting options action today When CIEN was trading at 92 this past Monday, I purchased the April 105 calls for $19.5. They were up a little yesterday to 27 and today to 30.5. The interesting thing about todays rise is that the price rose at the end of the day when CIEN's price was declining a bit. CIEN trade up to 107 and change in the AM. Anybody have a take on this? Mark

Per our conversation that we had on Monday, Consensus estimates for our fourth quarter and year-end are $0.25 and $277 Million. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Sincerely, Genevieve Polk ____________________________________________________________ Can you break Q4 and Y/E out separately? Is .25 for Q4 or the entire year? What is guidance for Q4?
