What people need to realize is how OVERVALUED some of these stocks really are. JDSU is probably one of them. That said we probably are due for a snapback rally here for 100-300 Naz points. I am trying to catch it. CIEN is a $5 stock IMHO and will eventually get there. VRSN is a $3 stock IMHO and will eventually get there. Right now I actually like JNPR although I bailed on it today out flat. It is now 10 cents higher. I have little tolerance for longs until I can catch one and have it go up. In my IRA on SMALL positions I am willing to buy a few calls. NOV & Feb. If stock falls in half my calls will be 100% worthless but I will be better off than buying common and losing half. In that regard, options a few months out are safer. If we tank I lose less if we rally I gain less. If we are flat then options were stupid. I expect a break up or down here and am holding some calls and some puts. M
