Well, not a whole lot of stock action so far. I did see the ask drop to 27.75 for a little bit, but back up to 27.85/90. There is a MM SBSH showing 50K on the ask at 27.95. Don't know if those are for real of trying to head fake people.

The release

We expect that if we can continue to take market share from our legacy competitors, we will be able to deliver continued annual revenue growth."


What is that annual revenue growth??? That's what everyone wants to know!

Also, And I know it's just my pessimism coming through, but

Adjusted net income for the third quarter, which excludes deferred stock compensation charges, payroll taxes on stock option exercises, a benefit from receipt of a previously written down receivable, and amortization of intangibles and goodwill, was ....

I don't like that form of accounting. Of course it is all in accordance with GAAP. just another way of doing business I suppose.

Good luck

That doesn't seem to have changed the fact that Ciena was an over-stuffed pig of a stock that has been hyped up to a valuation beyond all sense of proportion to reality. This morning a dose of reality hit investors in the face: Ciena and other optical firms do no walk on water and regardless of how miraculous their products may be the huge debt overhang in the telecommunications industry does not leave much meat on the table for them to grow fat(ter) on.
