Money Magazine, January 2000 SMART MONEY SAYS LUCENT The market for telecom equipment is expected to reach $800 billion in 2003, up from $450 billion in 1999. Given that kind of growth, the industry's top players -- Lucent, Cisco, Nortel and Ericsson - have excellent prospects. But if your portfolio lacks such a stock, Lucent looks like the best value now. Lucent shares have had a great run since AT&T spun off the company nearly four years ago; they were up another 65 percent in the first 11 months of 1999. Lucent's $5 billion in research and development spending has earned the company leading positions in almost every area of telecom infrastructure -- wireless, fiber optics, communications chips and software, service and support. "You have a management that is making the right moves," says Ned Brines, telecom analyst and co-manager of the Phoenix-Ingeman Focus Growth Fund.
