Jon,

Thanks for the kudos, but I went 'light' in only buying 125 shares. However, in the coming days, (maybe as early as tomorrow, if CIEN stays around these levels I plan to place a bet by

buying more underlying shares and then deciding on a strike price when buying covered calls. I *think* CIEN messed the bed only once in the last many CC's. My only question, asked

some time ago, is whether they are primarily a supplier to American co's such as ATT, or whether they have a dog in the fight with China.

Regardless, it's 'that time' again with CIEN, and I think it's a chance worth taking.
