Some Good Reasons to Take a Second Look at Optical Stocks... moneycentral.msn.com <<“Metro access” infrastructure is now the name of the game, not long-haul transport. “During the past two years, the industry was building out the core, or the backbone,” says Tang. “But the metro space is the next bottleneck. Metro is the next big wave.” In short, telecom carriers need to beef up local access to bring more customers on line, so they can make money off those long-haul investments...>> They even mention my favorite stock--> OCPI...It continues to trend UPward and next week they have an earnings release. And yes folks they have REAL earnings (unlike some new players such as CORV). I love it when I can buy a fast growing optics firm with a P/E that's still in the 30s. OCPI is also positioned in the hyper-growth Metro Sector -- one area that its large customer Cisco continues to be quite bullish about. There are no guarantees with this stock but the sentiment, relative strength, and momentum are all improving...IBD ranks OCPI as #2 in the entire optics category...I look forward to earnings and wish I had more dry powder to put to work..=) Have a great weekend everyone. Best Regards, Scott
