"This guy Olston Moron should be investigated by SEC for manipulation." -- Thanks for your input. This manipulation is horrible, I would love to see the SEC do something. It is so obvious at times, it is just despicable. jim

"Olsten is the same Moron, who was quoted by NY times earlier in the year. He is truly a Moron, does not realize that Telcom infrastructure itself is growing at 15-20% annually. He says Lu is growing 10%, what an idiot. LU is also growing international revenues at 50% clip. LU is a mutibillion dollar startup. This idiot has no clue about this industry." A Moron he may be but he does have the advantage of the Bully Pulpit while we, who are the faithful don't, and his remarks will have their affect, of that I have no doubt.

Bindusagar ---My wife who is a CPA and controller feels most companies consider their pension plans as a profit center . If they hire a firm that does an above average job with the investments then less earnings have to be allocated to fund the pension plan thus it is truly a profit center if you managing your business correctly . The real issue is revenue growth which if you remember kill LU just before Christmas last year when revenue was deferred to the next qtr . Base upon the number of contracts LU has announce ( one billion alone last week ) revenue should not be an issue for this qtr . The real issue for me is how LU did with their account receivables etc ---tighter financial controls . If LU is making an improvement in this area the stock will do find . I have home assess with a download speed of 5.5 meg per second ---this is definitely the future of information highway once you have had a taste of it . The only other issue I would like to see is CEO MCginn out talking about the company ---he is really great in explaining the vision for the company ---hopefully he will do that soon . Would definitely help the stock BEST WISHES BILL
