I am trying to reveal the motives of these manipulators with the help of media. That's all. Media should reveal the position(short) of the moron who gives their opinion. Otherwise media loses their reputation. If LU turns out to be a true growth story with 30% revenue growth this Q and many Q to come, LU price doubles from here, think about all the NAIVE investors who sold today based this foolish article which is repetition of old news with some twist, not all factual. One more point to be bullish on LU is that, if these idiots have to use media to spread FUD, to drive price down means that they know LU has had great Quarter and are worried about a big run up. That is positive. If the fundamentals are negative they don't need to do this kind of low life work. BR

But don't bother to read it if you want to know only the news and views that you agree with. We're looking for responsible reporting, not the usual BS Jerry Springer press sensationalism that tabloids like the Times resort to just to sell a rag. The Monica story is dead, so they go back through the trash can to find another nugget of crap for the pin heads to feed on. There are a lot of retired and close to retirement individual LU investors that wont take kindly to your rag's indiscretion to run a thoroughly biased joke of a story that hurt their retirement funds. You sold some rags today but people remember tricks like this for a LONG time! That's why newspapers are free on the web. You get what you pay for. Keep up the good work! I hear the National Enquirer is looking for a few good stories!

Merril just put out their intraday special call on LU, reiterating BUY on weakness. They cited two reasons for the weakness inaddition to the article. They think one of the cometitors had trimmed their revnue forcast and earnings forcast dor Q1 due to Brazil and pricing pressure. Secondly erroneous suumption of completion of phase I ATT Optical network build out. They are positive on second phase of optical network build out bt T. They are positive on Brazil, infact LU to improve margins in Brazil, hence recommend buying LU on weakness. BR
