barnige

did you get my pm??

Barnige... I strongly warn you to ignore any "tips" or advice on stocks. If you want to do a phone conversation I will happily detail for you how much money I have lost on "hot tips" "sure things" and inside information.

Learn to do your own research... only.

Oh, and never bet against the shorts. You will lose.

I use Etrade. What an online brokerage allows is for you to take advantage of fluctuations in real-time. You can make (or lose) in a hurry. Just be careful and make sound decisions based on the research that is available on these sites.

Oh, last major and most important bit of advice... under no circumstances start reading stock message boards on the internet... particularly for stocks you own.

Mr Bill.

Nothing more than that they are doing some serious restructuring. They barely made it through this time but they're still around. They cut costs, and got rid of everything that wasn't making them the profit they needed. If they hang in a little while longer until the economy turns and demand for telecom stuff goes up their price will rebound. I doubt you'll see lucent at $70/share, but there's a good chance that they will get to $15.00 a share. Just be willing to hold on for a while cause it may not go anywhere anytime soon.

They aren't in any serious trouble, they took some hits because they announced that they wouldn't be performing as well as they thought. Of course a lot of this over reaction is because people are now fearful of what happened with enron-people are just afraid to loose their money. Then there was an announcement that telecom wasn't in full demand. Of course the economy has to rebound first and new businesses will need to be created before lucent will be in demand again. We'll see...This is a stock you get and just hold..Fuck the day trading bullshit, your going to cause yourself more stress than its worth.

Vic...just wondering why you think Lucent is going to turn around? I don't follow it closely, but from what I have heard they are "in trouble". Have you seen some info that looks positive on them? ...just curious

I use ameritrade. $15 for limit orders. unlimited real-time quotes


Start out investing in well-known companies --stay away from unestablished, less stable companies.

I started a little over a year ago and learned to stay away from penney stocks.

And watch the market as a whole. When the market is dropping like a rock, even the most profitable companies will have troubles gaining.

Check out Ford Motor company---they are in recovery--read up on 'em.

Check out the cruise line--ie carnival, royal carribean etc.

stay away from Lucent.
