mariner, If Canada makes you invest in companies 80% based in Canada, I think that is BS. It is your hard-earned money, and you should be able to invest it in Timbuctoo if you want. Such socialist arrogance!!! "Big Brother" is controlling you. It makes me mad just to think about it. :( wj

BULLPUCKEY! U've been posting on JDS 4 months. U knew damngood&well JDS' competition was UNPH with all the due dilly you do. Any decent company knows who their "competition is" and their investor relations' mouthpieces speak freely of said competitors. You have obviously pursued communications with investor relations in the other "CA" companies in which you invest acc'd to your recent string of SI posts. Tis certainly believable that you pursued investor relations in JDS' case/investment. Your hand is in the Canadian Insider Cookie Jar, plain and simple. If I were you, I think I'd start planning for puking up some of those profits plus the punitive penalties. Good Luck! You're gonna need it. There's a very zealous & to hear him talk, a very zealous Canadian stock investigator on SI, a gent documented on many other SI/CA threads. He's affectionatly known as a "spikey hair." I'd rather imagine your goose is cooked in ways you will learn of at his discretion. Might think of cancelling shore leave in Halifax. Don't know what to make of my post to you...hrmph!!!

TOKYO -(Dow Jones)- Japan's Furukawa Electric Co. said Thursday it is selling 3.13 million shares in JDS Fitel Inc., its Canadian unit, for 187.8 million Canadian dollars (US$124.2 million) to CIBC Wood Gundy Securities Inc. The Japanese firm's sale comes a week after it approved the proposed merger of fiber-optic gear makers JDS Fitel and Uniphase Corp. (UNPH) in a stock swap valued at more than $3 billion. Furukawa, a manufacturer of electric wire and cable, said it will have a 26% stake in the merged company, to be named JDS Uniphase. JDS Uniphase will be a major optical component and module maker serving the fiber-optic communications markets. Ahead of the merger, Furukawa said it was selling some of its stake in JDS Fitel to get a return on its investment. With the sale, Furukawa's stake in JDS Fitel will drop to 47.9% from 51.9%. Furukawa, which also manufactures nonferrous metals and other related products as well as provide engineering services, said in a statement there will be no change to its fiscal year group earnings forecast as a result of the sale. Furukawa said in October it expected group net profit of 3.5 billion yen ($31.02 million) in the fiscal year through March. Copyright (c) 1999 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
