Hi Paul,

I own Alcatel in one of my accounts. I also had business dealings with them going back to 1985. IMHO Alcatel's problems are poor management and lousy french business environment. They compete with Lucent, Siemens, Northern Telecom, Ericsson etc with a very broad product line. I do not expect them to be a market leader in any one telecom product group and they are a high cost manufacturer. For years they were kind of equipment manufacturing arm of France Telecom. All that changed in 1986 with Alcatel buying ITT's Telecom business in Europe. They do have a large presence in Asia including China which may pay off some day?

I have traded ALA twice buying below 20 and selling above 25. This time I am still holding a small position hoping it go over 30.

Best wishes,

Jyoti Sharma
