Right now, it seems they have chosen to print.

Prove it.

You also said the earning for next year could be as low as $0.20/share. That's $20M profit. And you said the revenue would likely grow. Current revenue is $500M, so let's say next year revenue is $500.000001M. $20M profit from $500.000001M sales for WDM equipment? Perhaps Ciena is better off selling grocery.

Does anyone know the original strike price of the employee options?

Also, how much stock does Nettle own? Does he and the rest of top management own enough for shareholder value to really matter to them?

I'm new to the Ciena board, so pardon my ignorance.

Thanks in advance to any one of the well-informed oldtimers who can answer my post.
