<<Lucent will be buying over 30 companies over the next few years..>> in order to fill in gaps in product lines and service. Anyone care to take a shot at listing the candidates ? ASND's product line is exactly what LU needs to enter the networking market in a big way. LU is exactly what ASND needs to achieve the "mass" necessary to win the battle for the internet against CSCO, COMS etc. You put LU and ASND together and you have easily got the number one networking/telecom. hardware/software provider. ASND's current ridiculously low valuation has got to put them at the top of LU's list. Why is everyone saying that a deal can't be done because LU is currently not able to use their stock to purchase a co. ? How many companies sign merger agreements many months before the actual merger takes place ? Ans: a lot. As far as I know there is absolutely nothing standing in the way of an agreement between LU and any of it's 30 merger candidates. We all know that the initial news of a merger agreement is what pops a stock. The consumation of the merger is usually a non-event. IMHO if you wait until LU is officially able to use its stock before identifying and investing in these co's, you will have missed out on the easy money, no brainer picks , because LU will have already signed them up.
