With Clinton having air time requested for Monday night at 9pm the market will probably be crazy all day. This was one fast day, its time to sign off. Everyone have a nice weekend.... John

If you want to grab a ride on TLAB, definitely buy CIEN at a discount. There is ABSOLUTELY NO POSSIBILITY this merger will crater. As I said in an earlier message, the Board has already approved the merger this week (even with this news out); the proxies were already committed weeks ago; and a week is too little time for shareholder sentiment to turn sour enough to affect a vote. I would be a little more cautious if TLAB "had no comment" or "was in meetings." To the contrary, Birck was on the call, pounding the table on the merger and shepherding his company through this tough time. Wall street has great respect for him, and if he says it's a go, no institutional investor is going to be out front fighting him. Take the 10% discount; you won't regret it. Doughboy.
