Because they have dilluted the stock, provided nothing but empty promises, and failed to announce significant improvements to their core buisness.....R

No sure why but this reminds me of ASCEND after they acquired CASCADE- The street (esp day traders) just do not understand the strategic importance of the last two acquisitions that CIEN made. When ASCEND bought CASCADE the street was down on them; but they converted it into a $20B buyout by LU. If they had not bought CASCADE and not marketed the GBX550 ATM switch, then LU would not have paid $1B. These acquisitions by CIEN will position it as a MUST HAVE for one of the big players and they will have to pay dearly to get control. So load up while the getting is good would be my advise.
