Thanks.. I appretiate your comments. I will stick with my long JDSU position. This arbitrage business is not for me.

Well communicated...... I'd just add that, as we've seen before with ETEK shares, OCLI shares, etc, closing out the positions (ie, JDSU short) is problematic. Typically, some/much of that new JDSU stock (which is now in the hands of old SDLI owners.....)gets dumped, further depressing JDSU stock. Then...trying to cover around all the arbs (does the mouse/stampeding elephant analogy makes sense here?), can make you think you've experience CAT (Clear Air Turbulence) while flying. I'm not belittling a 380 share short JDSU position, but why bother for 6.7%, and the risk? Take a MM position for 6.22 % with your money, for NO RISK, NO COMMISSIONS, and NO ELEPHANTS.
