You know guys, I love Lu almost more than Life itself, and it probably exudes itself in my messages, however, I'm looking for some other good situations too. This week I will use my Margin Power generated by LU to increase my Position in ETV(Everything for Less). I believe in the short run, from what I've been hearing from some reliable sources, good news is imminent.. I won't guess prices here, though I believe the upside is alot more than the downside.... Just keep an eye on ETV for the next few weeks--- I think shareholders will be rewarded handsomely.. ...on that note, MIOA should have an interesting month as well (yes, besides by blue chip portfolio, I like to throw the dice sometimes too..lol)

03/08 01:01 Lucent <LU.N>, BT <BT.L> target Asia call centres SINGAPORE, March 8 (Reuters) - Telecoms giants British Telecommunications Plc and Lucent Technologies said on Monday they had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to offer solutions for the call centre market in the Asia Pacific. Call centres are specialised areas within an organisation that are equipped to handle large volumes of incoming telephone calls, including facsimile, e-mail, the Internet and remote video links. The joint statement said the call centre market in Asia, which grew by almost 40 percent in 1997 from the previous year, was expected to continue growing. The two companies would see a phased roll out of solutions for identified market sectors in the second quarter this year. "These solutions target all major markets in Asia starting with Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia," it said. The companies would also develop a joint marketing plan targeting medium to large corporations which require networked call centre services in the region.
