Like everything else, one must learn how to execute the finer points of mule trading, one does not want get stuck with a jackass... <g>

So very true. To run (or at least hobble) with your simile, I see Lucent like Old #7 (remember Grizzly Adams?). While she's sometimes obstinate, by God shes' the best durned mule I've ever had, and I'd hate to lose her.

Even though I don't have the patience (at least short-term patience...I almost bailed on ADBE at $50 a couple weeks ago!!) to trade Lucent, nor the smarts or attentiveness to write calls, I still feel very safe just holding this beauty and watching my shares double every 12 months. I'm not a greedy man.

Thanks for the reply, JV.
