<<Jack, I know you are long, but at what point would you pull the trigger after the merger?>> I am lucky, I got in last fall, not at the bottom, but near, and got some more at the end of the year. Then watched us drop from $55 this summer. To answer your question: Call me crazy, but I think that if LU merges with ASND, LU will actually start marching back up due to the market's anticipation of the combined company capturing a LARGE slice of that $650 billion in 2001. I already have some LU spun off from AT&T shares, so I might just hold it all since someone has to build out the worldwide internet. I would hate to not participate in that as an investor. jww
