Maher - you nailed it right on the head - none of the so-called experts who told us to load up on e-toys at $80+ seems to care about the agere proceeds: "Lucent has ~$4 billion in cash and they will receive another $2.5 billion when they sell Agere Systems. They have short term debt of $5 billion and long term debt of $3.1 billion. This is not a company about to go bankrupt by any means."
