After volatility returns to normal and market indicators are favorable, CMVT might be a better buy than some other major telcomm Equipment manufacturers. Third quarter profit forcasting by analysts is rise of 31% in earnings from the same .<br> Much of the upside we might have seen already on Friday although Monday will be quite a volatile day for CMVT.<br> <br> On August 29, it had a 6% earnings surprise and was down immediately after and on May 31, CMVT had 6% earnings upside surprise and was initially down as well.<br> <br> <b>Intraday 10 day chart for CMVT:</b><br> MACD s showing as oversold, Volume indicators are fine, 4 day accumulation/distribution points to a breakout on Friday .018, Relative strength at 44.83 is bullish, Stochastics at 45.38 are also bullish, but the 10/50 moving average oscillator is showing a very weak -10.50, Money flow is positive<br> <br> CIEN:<br> <br> for the year 2000 analysts expect a profit of $0.31 per share. which is definitely an improvement from the last year's loss or 4-0.01.
