Dipy, > Have you considered that a good part of the $8-$9 price that you talk about in your first sentence above could be based on what you say in the next sentence becoming true? I guess it is how you look it, either as a glass half empty, or half full! No one knows exactly how the majority is viewing it right now. And that is what makes it interesting and that is why those who invest (or gamble) their money into JDSU can either be rewarded tremendously or lose it all (or a good part of their initial money anyway)! I think I understand enough of what their technology is and what it can do to the economy that I strongly believe JDSU will drive the market trends (and not neccessarily all that other stuff someone like Warren Buffet talks about) in its favor in 24 months from now to start reaching new highs. And that the current price already discounts the most horrific outlook! And I am betting my hard earned money with an average of now about $14/shr that in 24 months from now I will have (at least) doubled my money (if not much much more). View the market as not just a set of logical valuations and assumptions. It also consists of illogical factors such as perceptions and emotions of real human beings! It is those illogical perceptions and emotions that mainly drive the markets up or down. The error we often make (at least in my case for which I have tried to correct after being an investor for so many years) is that we do not know when to take advantage of those emotions that drive the markets (or a particular stock) up or down, and instead we ourselves become integrated as part of those very same emotions! If you can seperate yourself from the emotions, then there are tremendous money that can be made.
