I'm new to this thread so sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseum already. Came over to see what's going on. It looks like I made a hell of a mistake buying on the rebound based on some my engineer friends saying CIEN makes products that beat the hell out LU and anyone else. I won't ride this stock down another dollar, let alone sit on it until it's 25. The activity around CIEN stinks of a big earnings shortfall coming. Just a hunch. Take a look at the three month chart on CIEN. If you connect the line from the pre-WCOM announcement to the line since the subsequent bounce ended the resulting downtrend is incredibly consistent. Why isn't a huge growing market for WDM big enough for the player with the "best" products? Is CIEN's Sales team that ineffective? Phil
