A, I have had reverse splits that have done well and I have had reverse splits that have gone into the depths not to be seen again. It all depends on if their business model is viable or not. The ones which did well were earning money and the RS allowed for listing on an exchange or allowed for funds to buy back in. The ones that didn't do well couldn't turn the business model around. For lucent, whether I stayed around or not would depend on whether I thought they were going to do something good irregardless of the RS.(I sold my last lucent in the past week-I don't have a high degree of confidence that they will do anything in the near future). Good luck. Neal

Management often cites the low price as a barrier to institutional investment and a reverse split can make the stock investment grade again. However, the fundamentals still rule.

No one has ventured a guess as to how the stock price of LUCENT will go with this merger ... UP ... or ... DOWN. I'm concerned about the 80 shares I have. Will I make a bundle or lose a bundle? Will there even be any LUCENT shares around after this merger is completed? What will the "new" companies name be? Today ... at the moment ... it is dropping. Soon it will be back under $3. I really don't intend to sell my 80 shares. I thought I'd just hold on to them and when I die I would leave them to my grandchildren. How about that idea?
