Jon,

Or, to give a 'price' to that wish - NOK ($7.41) to Infinera ($22.41) and beyond. One can hope.

And so far, NOK has been something of a 'snooze alarm' stock: Every now and then NOK releases a piece of progressive news, and the stock jumps. But then the market goes back to 'sleep' mode (e.g., no real participation in todays rally - while CIEN (+2%) and INFN (+3%) are up nicely) until the next 'wake up' call.

I keep puzzling on whether and where to write calls on all 3 of those. Obviously, today's expy is not 'playable'. I keep coming back to the feeling (hope?) that next Thurs. CIEN will report good numbers, and if so, there might be a positive bump in all 3 of those stocks, if part of CIEN's report is taken as a healthy sign for the sector.  If CIEN disappoints, well, I'll feel rather foolish for being greedy. *Somebody* likes CIEN - has appreciated from ~$22 to near $25 in a short time - and while today's bid for today's expy is $.02 cents. stke 25, next Friday's expy stk 25 is around .89 cents.
