Regarding you recent optimism on Ascend: NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 1998--Red-hot telecom equipment maker Lucent Technologies may soon be in the hunt for networking companies and foreign partners, Business Week reports. Despite Lucent's soaring stock since its 1996 IPO, the company hasn't been free to use its shares as acquisition currency. The reason: Accounting rules bar spin-offs like Lucent from using an accounting method called "pooling of interests" for deals until they have been independent for two years. Lucent's second birthday is Oct. 1. So what will the Lucent buy itself as a gift? The company won't comment, but investors and analysts are buzzing about possible targets, including networking equipment maker Ascend Communications, France's Alcatel, and Finland's Nokia.. chris

IQ, Where the heck are you guy. We have broken the 1037 and closed above it twice now. Japan was down yesterday .22% and is down 1% now, SPZ down about 2 and Greenspan did not let the cat out of the bag. What might you see for a volatile expiration day tomorrow?

Uncle Ike, Wherefore hast thou forsaken us <VBG>. "buyer of calls above 1009-- I will cover them on second inability to break 1035-- that is it very simple vey foolish but I will be able to ride a trend both ways- I pinned that 7500 support for my self I traded every fall to that level- So today we closed at 1045. What heights do you forsee for tomorrow?!
