Bloomberg will print just about anything. I tend to agree with you on that. I was outraged a few quarters back about the way they reported NTs earnings and I sent them an E-mail telling them so.

Tech, that is one of the key issues that keeps me out of lucent: that i have read numerous times that key personnel from big acquisitions are fleeing - notably asnd people. i've read that they leave more because of the stifling bureaucracy than the paucity of incentive pay and options. so, if those issues are not being addressed, it is very important to be aware of them. virtually the next post is Stocker's from the street.com: about vaporous press releases. i had about 3 inches of lucent press releases in late '99. i thought i was really onto something nobody realized (ludicrous to believe of the world's widest held stock). i've already posted my lucky experience that got me out of lucent in time: an article in the Times that said nortel was the leader in OC-192. so intoxicated was i by those mcginn press releases, i called the reporter to say he must be wrong! thank God he said, "mr. bittner, press releases are easy to come by. nortel ships more product." a nice, pithy sentence that summed it all up. that led me to some dd, and i got out. mr mcginn is building a value stock in lucent. when he and his team finish, the non pareil bell labs will be a bargain. so we should all watch for the time when mcginn retires (no doubt with billions) - but only if he is replaced by a dynamic manager from outside the old att hierarchy. gee, suppose bell labs is no longer non pareil?
