When it comes to Lucent, I do not follow individual downgrades or upgrades. They are focussed on the short-to-medium term and I invest for the long-term. also, I have never even heard of Soundview Financial and I have been following the market closely since 1985. They may be important--but not to me. Lucent is a great company in many growing industries. It will probably start making more acquisitions now that restrictions have been removed from using stock. I cannot imagine a long-term growth portfolio without a major chunck of Lucent. The question is: are there other similar that Lucent may buy for their technologies. It is hard to play the mergers game, but if you pick right you end up with Lucent shares at a lower price since they pay a premium for the merger. You have to invest in stocks that you like for themselves but might be Lucent targets. I am starting to look at 3com on its own merit and because it is a major player in its markets. Could Lucent go after them? Bruce
