Nortel stock actually went up on a day that they announced an acquisition (Sonoma Systems). Shocking! That breaks the seeming endless string of high-powered networking companies actually LOSING ground after announcing such deals.

This is the problem I have with headlines in today's high-profile financial news reporting. Why use the word "failed"? All it does is imply to investors of both companys that the outcome was completely negative, and due to an inability of both sides to due what's best for shareholders. Saying something like "they mutually agreed to put off talks" or "they decided further talks would not benefit either company" would have been more accurate.

Anyway, it goes along with my pet peeves in general with reporting like the kind of CNBC, where they take quotes out of context, or use quotes that 'supposedly' prove a point, but to any intellegint person, they don't provide any value whatsoever.

I think that's enough rambling for Monday morning.

This is a pretty famoust portfolio that Lehman has put out for the past 50 years or so. They pick common stocks that they expect to outperform the market.

Now I have no idea what is meant by uncommon value (what is common value?), but it's got to be good, right?
