Another consideration: Just something else to keep some of the SI members here from fretting over the "premium" Lucent paid for Ascend, which, IMHO, was quite fair, based on current and future earnings and growth rate for Ascend, and other underlying fundamentals... ...Ascend is reporting earnings next week on Tuesday after the close. If the earnings are solid and is followed by a positive conference call, then this should/will result in continued optimism over Lucent, as well as the planned Lucent/Ascend merger.
