Another post from Ragingbull. This one about Barbara's multiple identities: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I always knew that Barbara and FYI are the same person Compare these messages posted at approximately the same time on SI and Yahoo: To: Barbara J Payne (83 ) From: Barbara J Payne Friday, Aug 21 1998 4:18PM ET Reply # of 87 FINALLY!! I took a position. I traded Ciena today after it took the blow. It seems the aritrageurs have decided the TLAB deal will not go through as planned, and they were frantic to unwind their positions. I managed to get in on the bounce for a daytrade. When I decided to sell, I decided to keep my "profit" in shares. I believe that the deal may still go through. I find it hard to believe that TLAB didn't realize these things were coming. If the deal doesn't go through, I think that CIEN is (was) still at a great entry point. The sell of today had nothing to do with the company, but with the arbitrageurs. My condolences to the big money. I think this is a great example of why entering into trades where your upside is capped, and your downside unpredictable is just not my cup of tea. Long 500 Ciena at 29 25/32 I will try to set up a portfolio to track this this weekend. Barb And this message from FYI on YAHOO # 26656 What the Losicult members do not understand is that the arbitrageurs decided that the TLAB/CIEN deal was not going to happen, and unwound their positions. This caused huge selling pressure on CIEN. It had very little to do with CIEN as a company. I thought it a buying opportunity myself, and initiated a long position in Ciena in the high 20's. Now if these losers had predicted that this would happen they might have been due some respect. Instead, they only show that they know the price of the second most heavily traded stock on the Nasdaq. Poor, poor pitiful Losilongs. RIL LMMS SDME
