While I think JDS is a great company I think it may have more room to fall. It looks like people are beginning to shy away from high PE ratio stocks thinking that most will not be able to maintain their growth rates of the past few years thus lower pe ratios. I think a 37- 38 pe ratio is not going to attract investors like it would have in the past. I can see JDS at 30 pe within a couple of months. There are just too many small caps with better valuations and less exposure to foreign markets. Cheers, Paul

If you are looking for a quick buck, there are other high beta stocks to go after. JDS is too illiquid for me to trade short term. As I have mentioned on my previous posts...I am buying big time on dips. Unless my l/t assessment of this company is totally wrong, it is hard to loose money on this company 5 years from now. Currrently trading at roughly 35x trailing earnings and growing (cash flow) at about 50x annually. The market is there, technology is there, I think the only lacking ingredient is an efficient CFO ala DELLs'. I still personally think its undiscovered. Good Luck.
