" So what your saying is that LU (and CSCO and the rest of the market) went down today because of Worth Magazine? Have you seen actual earnings growth over the past 3 years? good luck with your magazine leads." It's as good a reason as any. There is no one on this thread that can predict where anything is going to be tomorrow, one week from today, one month or one year. If they could then they wouldn't even be posting here because they'd be so rich that they would be #1 instead of Bill Gates. All the technical analysts put together with all the tea leaf readers could never tell with an ounce of accuracy where LUCENT or Cisco or any other stock will be at any time...this is a pure crap shoot and nothing else...except I will admit that if you choose to purchase 100 shares of each of the DOW components tomorrow, I would bet my entire fortune that ten years from now those 3,000 shares (30 x 100) will be worth more than they were when you purchased them tomorrow. Everyone that enters a chat room to talk about his or her favorite or least favorite stock hopes that the choice they made concerning the stocks they are involved with will be the correct choice and that it will result in lots of dollars for their kitty. It is as simple as that! Anonymous
