Lu vs. NT..... I owned Ascend, which tripled, and became Lucent. I was mesmerized by Lucent's success in years prior, by Mr. Fun's analyses in 1998, 1999, and held onto Lucent until Dec '99. I diversified out of Lucent into JDSU in Dec '99, and sold the rest of Lucent for more JDSU in Jan '00. I agree that Lucent is misfiring in important segments. I would like to publicly acknowledge LindyBill and others, but especially LB, for suggesting in mid-'99 to get rid of Lu, and to be guarded about Mr. Fun. You were right. MtnLady, you've been an informed NT investor, and have helped us better understand NT. I was impressed yesterday to hear that NT's enterprise growth Y-O-Y was just 4%, as compared to the FO space, which I think CNBC listed at about 159%. Seems NT does have some baggage that it's lugging around. Stan
