When you think of Lucent, think of Bell Labs. Yeah, but I wonder if Bell Labs can "wag the dog". Lu is a big stogy, mainline company that will do very well, but I think CSCO will outperform them by far. I would predict, that if we looked at a 60 month chart of CSCO, MSFT, AOL, DELL, and LU 5 years from now, LU would be on the bottom. Still good, by the overall market results, but nothing compared to the other four. NT would be even further down. I sold my LU last September when I realized this.

I agree, unlike the other person who replied to your posting. At first, when I received my initial shares of LU via the spin-off, I thought, "Ah, big deal." As time has gone by and I have actually paid attention to LU, I am glad it is in my portfolio--and that I am in dividend reinvestment (and am able to make optional contributions to purchasing shares). BTW, LU is smart in that it is selling-off divisions that do not fit with its long-term objectives. Recently, it sold a division to BRKT, another stock I hold: biz.yahoo.com Lynn
