I dont care if it takes awhile for her to recover....as long as she does......some think I am crazy to be buying JDSU right now, even at under $7, but I will keep buying her all the way down as far as she goes......for one, those couple hundred shares I bought back at $70, now have a much lower cost basis, due to many buys now at $8 and less <ggg>....plus, my hope is that Fiber optics will not go away and jdsu will be a major player. could be rough waters ahead for sure, but since i believe jdsu will be a survivor, I am hoping in 10 years, all these shares bought under $8 will make up for alot of the pain the last 2 years have caused me and my portfolio........I just hope to hell JDSU doesnt turn into another once mighty goliath that gets killed by David and never returns to it's former glory days....heck, I dont care if jdsu doesnt hit $200 again ( although it would be nice...), but as long as we at least make it back to the $25 - $50 level in the next 5 or even 10 years....I suppose I will be happy......Foundry Networks' Internet IronWare Named a Finalist in the Best of Show Awards at NetWorld+Interop 2001 AtlantaCMP Media LLC's InternetWeek and Network Computing Editors Select Foundry as a Performance Enhancement Finalist
