JDSU vs Lucent

[stockviper]

Anybody have an opinion on which is better? I own both for spec. stocks but am curious with the talk about the reverse split on JDSU. I see Lucent products daily and it seems high quality but I have no first hand experience with JDSU. Just wondering...If you could pick only one, which would it be, $2.20 JDSU or $3.20 LU???

LU just doesn't move. People are scared of it, I think.

JDSU has been doing very well, but it will top out just prior to the stock reverse split and I expect come down a bit after that. Either be in it from now until then, or get it after the dust settles after the split. Don't be around during it!

I would try and get LU under 3.15. JDSU seems a lot riskier to me with that reverse split.
