Ron Schmidt, technical co-founder of SynOptics/Bay Networks, is new President of Lucent WEST in Silicon Valley. Ron is hiring all top remaining talent away from NORTEL/BAY who were loyal to Ron. Ron was Senior CTO at Xerox PARC Labs before SynOptics. Ron has been a pioneer in Photonics since 1984 published paper on Optical Switching. Why is Mr. Schmidt still working? Cuz he is a mad scientist playing in a wonderful sandbox called Bell Labs with all it's resources at his disposal. Caution to NT, Cisco, Ciena, Juniper, NN, Alcatel, Siemens, NET, Ericsson, NEC, Nokia. Ron is building a innovation army of dedicated LU West scientists who can think New World and market like SynOptics did; along the way filing barrier patents to cover their rear. Ron was on board pf directors at VitalSigns (Sequioa Venture) which INS (the famed Cisco integrator) just bought.

Yes my agenda is that LU management should be punished for their stock manipulation. They use the same tricks used by CA management but I will admit LU treats it's workforce nicely and not as cruel as CA treats it's workforce. They are not the only ones engaging in indirect stock manipulation of their own company,but deserve to be stripped of all their benefits similar to management of WMS. Regardless of the above I am looking for an entry point to LU for a short term trade. It may be a long or short position. Presently I do not know. BWDIK Haim
