>>It should be interesting as to what kind of guidance they give. I think you are right, if earnings are in line, the guidance will make or break the stock.<< If earnings are met, I can't imagine where the guidance would be any worse than last time. I get the feeling that management is very positive - and that's what they're going to say. Unless we have dramatic news, as last time with WorldCom, the stock will not be shook up (remember ...premise: if earnings are indeed met) If we do have dramatic news, well worst thing IMO is what's going on now... because in a way we are already in the worst case scenario - losing WorldCom contract was a big blow. By the way, anybody notice that the MCI/WorldCom merger is being strained some more by GTE? I wonder if this merger will really happen. And if it does, when? Next year? The merger conflict, to me, lessons the chance of CIEN regaining the WorldCom contract. any thoughts anybody? joe
