David, Why did you say: <<I would say LU is a likely candidate for acquisition if the stock remains around $3... With LU pricing higher than $4 I would say it becomes very unlikely she would be acquired.>> I would think the cheaper the price of LU's stock, the more attractive it would be. After all, the reason for some company acquiring LU would be the technology, customer base, Bell Labs, etc. The stronger LU's stock becomes, it's more likely that they will buy some other equipment company. By the way, do you think that Lu will do a reverse stock split? Stock Bull

>>>Cisco will do some buying but with someone much smaller. <<< CSCO can buy corvis equipment division for around $350mil....(pocket change/bargain) who needs lucent....3rd generation optical. CHEAP! I could use the $4 dividend<g> CSCO needs to find growth somewhere! Then they could have improved position for Qwest/MCI's business?
