I like this one from what i seen from it's candlestick chart... it's trading above all 3 MA's (20/40/60) and using it's 20 MA as support.. now it just needs to break it's Resistance of $3.. a similar stock im in is NT (Nortel).. it had a little bad news(lost 8% of it's value because of it) recently with the COO leaving the company over differences with it's CEO and also taking his top man with him but it seemed to be recovering as of Friday June 17th... we shall see what this week brings for both these stocks..

LU is one of Cramer's favorites. He seldom lets a week go by without a speach on how wrong the others that down rate it are. But, I have yet to hear him state exactly why he rates it so high.....or even why he rates it at all, it being among his most hated class, "those two and three dollar stocks"...."There is a reason they are two dollar stocks", he yells!
I bought some April and sold for profit last month. Since then it has had huge volume, but doesn't vary much in price.

yeah it doesn't vary much in price for now.. but once it breaks it's Resistance it will.. as for Cramer.. i read a interesting article about him in today's NYPOST in the business section.. they did a evaluation/analysis of his picks to see if you would profit off of his picks.. and it showed that he has only been right about 46% since he first aired.. out of 198 stocks he has picked in total.. only 82 made a profit...

Lucent,Nortel and JDS uniphase are trying to break out by selling some assets. They are stocks of the 90s but dont sell them short.... I think it will be quite a while before we see a big turn around..and the market might fall out before they get the chance.

Don't count out Lucent just yet.. it is in a nice uptrend with increasing volume everyday.. i had said it would break it's Resistance of $3 and it did... if you are in this one or thinking of being in LU... put a trailing stop/loss or regular stop/loss... im in NT though.. it was heading to $3 till the bad news about the COO leaving.. it recovered some of it's ground and now looks to be doing a pullback.. i used to be in JDSU but got "stopped" out... and im waiting to get back into that one when the situation is right...

Price: LU closed on 7/15/2005 at $3.12 per share
Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth. LU has a current Value of $5.52 per share. Therefore, it is undervalued compared to its Price of $3.12 per share. Value is computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.
RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. LU has an RV of 1.45, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.
RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. LU has an RS rating of 0.85, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity, price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average stock in the VectorVest database. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent, predictable financial performance.
RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock's price trend. LU has a Relative Timing rating of 1.30, which is very good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a stock's price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates, RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.
VST (VST-Vector): VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database. LU has a VST rating of 1.22, which is good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital appreciation. VectorVest advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued stocks rising in price.
CI (Comfort Index): CI is an indicator which reflects a stock's ability to resist severe and/or lengthy price declines. LU has a CI rating of 0.38, which is very poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. CI is quite different from RS in that it is based solely upon a stock's long-term price history. VectorVest advocates the purchase of high CI stocks.
GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. LU has a forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 22.00%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. GRT is computed from historical, current and forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price trend. If a stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock's Price will probably fall. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates, (7.85%).
Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every stock, every day. LU has a Buy recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. VectorVest recommends that investors buy high VST-Vector, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.
Stop (Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or cover a short position. LU has a Stop of $2.81 per share. This is $0.31 below LU's current closing Price. A stock's Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals. High RV, high RS stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommendation if its Price is above its Stop and an 'S' recommendation if its Price is below its Stop.
EPS (Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share. LU has a forecasted EPS of $0.21 per share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.
P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings. LU has a P/E of 14.86. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all the stocks in the VectorVest database is 28.88. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.
EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the advantages that it is always determinate and can reflect negative earnings. LU has an EY of 6.72 percent. This is above the current average of 3.48% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price).
GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. LU has a GPE rating of 1.48. High growth stocks are believed to be able to justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunately, this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 5.35%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.29. Therefore, LU may be considered to be undervalued.
DIV (Dividend): VectorVest reports annual, regular, cash dividends as indicated by the most recent payments. Special distributions, one-time payments, stock dividends, etc., are not generally included in DIV. LU does not pay a dividend.
DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. LU does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Yield rating. . DY equals 100 x (DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significantly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.
DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. LU does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Safety rating . Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.
DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a company's financial performance. It also provides some insight into the board's outlook on the company's ability to increase earnings. LU does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Growth rating .
YSG (YSG-Vector): YSG is an indicator which combines DIV, DY and DG into a single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-paying stocks in the database. LU does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a YSG rating . Stocks with the highest YSG values have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income and long-term growth.

High: LU traded at a High price of $3.18 per share on 7/15/2005.

%Vol: %Vol reflects the percent change in today's trading volume as compared to the AvgVol. %Vol equals ((Volume - AvgVol) / AvgVol ) * 100. LU had a %Vol of 32.39% on 7/15/2005
Sales: LU has annual sales of $9,262,000,000
Sales Growth: Sales Growth is the Sales Growth Rate in percent over the last 12 months. LU has a Sales Growth of 6.00% per year. This is fair. Sales Growth is updated each week for every stock. It is often useful to compare Sales Growth to Earnings Growth to gain an insight into a company's operations.
Sales Per Share (SPS): LU has annual sales of $2.09 per share. SPS can be used as a measure of valuation when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.
Price to Sales Ratio (P/S): LU has a P/S of 1.49. This ratio is also used as a measure of valuation. Here, too, it is useful when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.
