If there is any company that can blow out earnings, I would think Ciena is it!

I wanted to buy but the stock ran up quite a bit. Might still buy it into the close if the Naz itself looks a little healthier (sustains rally).

I think a lot will rest on the revenue recognition schedule for the CoreDirector. In a recent interview Smith said,

"On the switching side, we're taking revenues from three customers. We've got equipment out at 14. And we will have commercially shipped by the end of this quarter to probably about 10 customers. So we've certainly got a head-start."
