I dont know, but I watched jdsu drop $20 in like a day oe two<ggg>....thats now the maximum amount it can fall...if I handled a drop from $140 to $20, I guess I can handle another drop to zero.......is that where folks really think we are going....everything to zero??...we may have further to fall, but I dont think jdsu or sunw or qcom or intc is going to zero...$5 maybe, at which time, I'll rent an eighteen wheeler, back it up....buy up every share of JDSU that I can at $5 and stash it away......sheez, what a crazy market.......I havent even looked to see what general nazzy is doing...last i looked she was up 40ish, then i saw a post that said some selling was coming, so I havent bothered to look at what is going on.....should I !!??!!
