The news is everywhere, of a possible buy-out..This not just speculation anymore, next week should definitely bring some results to this stock...Remember, how quickly the CEO of ciena spoke shortly after the possibility of a tellab buy-out again.. But cien believed it worth more.. I agree!

Somthing, has to be said next week... Chances are there's a real buyout..

And some insider trading is going on before the news..

I mean really, if you wait to here the news. I guess you can buy my shares for "25"... :))

<<CBS stock writer says buyout at 4 times estimated earnings, which would be
about $20>>

Didn't the article say 4 X REVENUE? (Which would be > $20, I think; don't have
any #'s in front of me.)

Yep, 4Xrevenue. I didn't have the article with me either. Sorry, was brain dead.

Still wonder why, if contracts are good and future margins are on the increase, would a deal be made at $20? Was all this gyration a ploy by Tellabs to get this technology and research team at a cheaper price?
