margin call selling must be brutal for a lot of margin long out there. I saw a lot of sell of 100 to 300 shares, very typical of margin liquidation. Ouch, I learned that hard learned lesson a long time ago. Thank god!

"It's clear by now that we will continue to see price erosion for a few days as the panic subsides. My guess is this could continue for 5-7 days. Pick your points and average down and then prepare to hunker down for a long dry spell."

Why buy right now at all? Remember this butt-whipping is being administered with the NAZ at a record high. What will stop CIEN from slipping further when earnings preannouncements start next month and the average pulls back 10%-20%?
