<I think investors sold on fears about Cisco. In addition, the short interest has kept climbing on high PE tech stocks in January. > According to Iwatch, most of the activity on Friday was institutions, with buys outweighing sells. Hopefully they are happy enough with this price. At some point also the arbs have to close out their shorts on JDSU. Find it hard to believe that they just wait for deal closure, then take assignment of shares to cover the short, as has been suggested here in the past.

t2 very astute post and I agree with you. A sI was looking at the trades last week , they where all small change for JDSU. No big Institutional lots. It was retail selling and Institutions buying. For JDSU I see a buying opportunity tomorrow and possibly Tuesday. I believe Wed we are likely to take off again in preparation for SDLI merger announcements. In regards to Short Interest on JDSU , it is the No. 2, most shorted stock on the Nasdaq. viwes.com It is possible that if any good news comes out, we may see a giant fireball up into the 70s of shorts burning in the wind. Remember, shorts are not immune to financial destruction. As far as CSCO is concerned, any earnings shortfall is already priced in the decline of 82 down to 32-35. What do you think that decline was due to? Exactly what happens Tues. So on the way down you sell the rumor and buy the news. At 32-35 CSCO tomorrow or Tuesday will be a great buy. Regardless of CSCO's sins, one thing going for them is size. In the cruel business climate coming along you got to be big to survive. Note: Al of the above is my opinion , for the morons that are unable to distinguish fact from opinion.
