WHY do you think this? Because it's April? Because there will be a negative surprise? Because the market needs a breather.... (consolidation). Because the overall market will tumble?

The stocks will probably continue up till earnings. You may see some profit taking shortly after, then the stocks will probably hold in a tight trading range somewhere around 75+. Folks may be interested in something else for awhile, but they'll keep coming back into strong stocks with good earnings and growth.

Don't think you'll have much of a consensus at $60 on LU.

>> Lucent: "Growing Like A Youngster" (LU)
Monday, March 30, 1998

As a key player in wireless, Internet, telephony and
networking, there's little wonder why Stephen Quickel
recommends Lucent Technologies (LU) as a core tech growth
stock. But act fast, he says, as the price of the former
AT&T division is moving as quickly as the hot markets it
serves. Lucent began 1998 at 75, rose to 104 at the March 5
market dip, and closed at 69 on April 2, the first day after
a two-for-one split. This prompted Quickel to issue a
post-split revised target price of 85.


"The company is huge but growing like a youngster," Quickel
says, noting $27 billion in sales and five-year growth
estimates of over 20% annually. The forward P/E is "rich" at
30 but the growth prospects make it worthwhile. Lucent is a
top contender in the battles for network bandwidth, and it's
the leading US telecom equipment and software supplier.

"We would prefer to buy it lower, of course, but advise
interested investors not to delay hopping aboard too long,"
Quickel says.<<

Frankly, though I do expect a market pull back after Tax day when people stop funding their IRAs, I'll bet that Lucent will not take part in the pull back.
