Gotta go with the iPhone in China. This will continue to run. Maybe for a couple of months it will be stale but once the Holiday shopping season begins, iPhone's will be selling and TLAB will be going higher.

Just got in at a good time--this stock has kicked too many people in the head for too many years. Buyout is coming?

Unless white knight arrives, Tellabs is a bad company with worst management. The worst has yet to come..will hit very hard. High risk. Too much marketing.

I love these low cost stocks. I wish I had more cash to make this bet.
You should meet my barber, he's a nice guy.

Cash and other current assets = $5.02 per share; zero long-term debt. It's about as close to risk-free as you can get. If they can improve their margins a little and reduce xp as planned, this stock could go to $12-15.

In Q1 2008 Tellabs had $2.8 Billion in equity...right now its market cap is currently standing at 1.7 billion.
In order for shareholder's equity to match the stock's market cap equity would have to decline about 39% (2.8bil - 1.7bil = 1.1bil) (1.1bil / 2.8bil = 39%)
I have no idea how the amount of equity a shareholder receives in this company warrants it's stock's market cap. Its not in a distressed industry and short of a complete economic collapse I don't see how shareholder's equity would decline enough to warrant the companies current market cap.
To look at it another way for every 1 share you buy at $4.38 (current share price) your receiving $6.95 in equity
The company also has positive free cash flow, they have reduced debt by 27% since Q3 from 350 million to 254 million. Their financial leverage ratio is only 1.28.
They also spend a significant amount of their operating expenses on R&D which I like because it shows me that the company isn't simply relying on current technologies to propel them into the future but are actively searching for newer better technologies to help them remain more competitive in the industry.
