Technology Stocks : Lucent Technologies (LU) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Is Powerwave Technology (PWAV) on Lucent's acquisition or purchase list? I have heard that Lucent recently conducted an audit of Powerwave's production facility, and was wondering if anyone knew if this audit was an evaluation for purchasing PWAV's amps or if there was possibly a takeover in the works? I follow both stocks, so this is of double interest to me. I can tell you that Powerwave is the premiere manufacturer of power amps for the wireless industry, so if they're taken over by Lucent it would be a smart move, but both PWAV and LU have been quiet since this supposed audit took place. Thoughts?

Gentlemen: Watch out. I love Lucent. In fact I believe that this company will be a DOW company sometime in the years to come. However, I am concerned about the following: 1) Political turmoil and the financial collapse of Russia 2) China devaluing their currency and thus destabilizing the southeast region of the world once again These two events are currently a real possibility. In fact, I believe that one of them will occur. If I am correct, then what will happen to the evaluation of our beloved Lucent stock? Will the world continue to build its telecommunications infrastructure during times of crises? Regards, Jack Kunkle
