Making the right moves to stay competitive.

Ciena Corp has produced the 100G, and just had the inventor named to an Innovator of the Year list. The 100G will allow people to download over 500 Billion pages of information in less than 12 hours--talk about fast. The technology has huge value to both commercial and defense companies. I won't look for explosive growth, but as cloud computing continues, they are going to need to rely on faster circuits that can process more information. Ciena is ahead of the game in producing those circuits. I would recommend them.

Taken down because of talks to purchase Nortel assets. Whether the transaction is completed or not, the stock should recover.

Top performer in the network arena.

This stock survives on dreams. Supposedly, its position in the internet equipmnet business will supposedly payoff as bandwidth needs increase exponentially. Unfortunately, the company historically generates lots of sales and no profits. Analysts don't expect profits anytime soon. Overvalued considering its historical and projected losses.

The maker of connectivity equipment and networking solutions has contracts with many companies including big wireless names (AT&T) and landline phone companies as well.

THE TELECOM IMAGE BUSINESS WILL BE BIG DOWN THE ROAD ONCE ATT AND VERIZON GET ON BOARD AND WITH THE EXPANSION COMING IN CHINA EVEN BIGGER

Great momentum... relatively cheap for a tech play, and an outside-shot buyout target... $15 by mid summer

The worst has yet to come..will hit very hard. High risk. Too much marketing.

I am a Tier-II engineer employed by a large ISP. It is my expertise and familiarity with Ciena equipment (amongst other vendors) that generates a healthy monthly paycheck; I know of what I speak!
Fellow Fools; this company's stock has been horribly walloped by Mr. Market but Ciena is an outstanding business which is in the vanguard of developing the next-generation 100 Gb/s hardware that all the telcos will have to purchase in order to remain competitive.
The business environment is also favorable to a nimble-footed small cap such as Ciena. The demise of Nortel simply creates more sales opportunities for the likes of CIEN and INFN.

Video requires bandwidth processing and CIEN is the equipment provider.

Ciena has been beaten down, they have next generation products on their way whichh should improve market position.

I am not overly bullish on tech but I do believe that Ciena will fit into the infrastructure plans of the Obama Administration for quite a while...

Cutting edge... to languish due to telcom cutbacks in the near term.
Cash per share $10.14 vs. stock price of $6.21
Dead money for 9 mos?... but double investment in 12 mos?! (target $10)
Picking up @ $6.21 may be nice, but selling the Jul09 option @ $5.00 for a $1.10 premium is much sweeter. You'll win either way.
