Shafik....interesting..so much so i contacted a friend who is experienced at tech analysis. He gave me permission to post the following. I'd be interested in anyone's comments. " i am looking at a long tem chart of tlabs.. going back a little before 92. the current up run starting in say nov of 98 is the second steepest rise (% wise) since early 93. the length of this run is now perhaps 3/4 of the run timewise that tlab has enjoyed in the past...................... my charting program has tlab growing enough that the growth rate between price bands in 34.4% meaning expected growth is around 70+% annually. could be there are just no one willing to sell calls or perhaps the cost is prohibitively high.. imagine paying 40 for a 70 call."

I would have to agree with I.M.P. At CSCO's AGM last year Chambers said that acquisitions of larger companies were too hard to integrate effectively. See COMS and USBX, tell me USBX shareholders have been happy with that deal! This is why CSCO makes several acquisitions per year but always of much smaller companies that way there is no question who the boss is. As for TLAB's it would be nice but highly unlikely just like the CSCO/ASND rumours before LU stepped in. Just my 2 cents worth.
