Carmine,

In case you haven't gotten this already the earnings estimates for CIEN as given by First Call are $1.36 for 1998 and $1.71 for 1999. Latest revision was on 4/8.

That puts the PE around 30-31 on forward earnings and 38 on trailing earnings. Not cheap but not bad if you think they can double in 1999.

I think CIEN is doomed to go sideways for the time being barring any new news of big contracts.
