Your Kind of Day?

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Finisar posts sharply higher fiscal 1Q profit

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:46:00 GMT

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Finisar Corp., a maker of fiber-optic subsystems and other data networking equipment, said Thursday its fiscal first-quarter profit rose sharply, helped by an acquisition and stronger sales.
That compares with $2.8 million, or a penny per share, during the three months that ended Aug. 3, 2008.
Revenue increased 11 percent to $128.7 million from $115.8 million in the year-earlier period, including an 11 percent rise in revenue from the company's optics business - an increase that reflects the company's acquisition of rival Optium last year.
