Good T/A from E*offering:Tech Takes: Lucent Technologies Inc. (LU)--LUcy to the Sky? 10:27pm EST 2-Dec-99 E*OFFERING (Mike Hurley (415) 618-6200) LU LU.N Tech Takes: Lucent Technologies Inc. (LU)--LUcy to the Sky? Story 2245 (B/LC C/CNA C/CUS I/CPR LU LU.N LUTI-D S/TEC) E*OFFERING December 3, 1999 The Investment Bank of E*TRADE Mike Hurley research@eoffering.com Technical Analyst www.eoffering.com Tech Takes Lucent Technologies Inc. (LU)--LUcy to the Sky? Exploding out of a triangle consolidation pattern on Thursday was Lucent Technologies Inc. (A). This surge came on a solid increase in volume, which helps in confirming the rally to technicians (B). LU's MACD is also turning up and seems to be within fractions of flashing a "buy" signal (C). Additionally, the Stochastic Oscillator is just hooking up from below 50, hinting that the stock has a tremendous amount of upside from below 50, hinting that the stock has a tremendous amount of upside potential (D). While consolidating, LU found support right around $73. This allows for the placement of a stop loss point in the $71-72 area, so the risk is well-defined. Not only is the risk reasonable but, in our opinion, the potential gain is significant because this kind of consolidation pattern often results in a "measured move"--where the rally out of the triangle should approximate the move into it.
