CIEN reported lower gross profit margins. This seems to be the trend wiht most companies indicating that competition has developed.

With more competition I think there will be more pressure on profit margins.

Anyone figure out the relationship of stock price, growth rate and profit margin decline?

James, if you are able to listen to the CIEN interview on CNBC today could you post your thoughts?
Thanks
