SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sep 23, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- As hot as the
Internet sector is, analysts and industry seers point to the
infrastructure stocks supporting the growth of web as perhaps the
safest and surest way to play the investing phenomenon.
Growth in telecommunications capabilities and capacity is a primary
enabling factor behind the success of the Internet. The growing army of
users requires more bandwidth that spurs demand for more sophisticated
equipment to meet the ongoing challenge to manage, facilitate and
direct the growing data traffic stream.
Today's Informed Investors Radio program will focus on
telecommunications in the first half hour with special guest Richard
Valera, telecom analyst at Needham & Co. (www.needhamco.com).
The second half hour features Randall Williams-Gurian, Editor of the
Undervalued Stock Ideas (www.usistocks.com) newsletter based in
Seattle. The newsletter focuses mainly on large cap technology stocks
and undervalued or out of favor technology issues.
Visit www.informedinvestors.com at 2 p.m. Eastern time (11 a.m. Pacific
time) to listen to the one-hour program live over the Internet. It is
also archived for 45 days.
Valera covers companies in the wireless equipment and satellite
industries. Companies covered include Anaren Microwave (Nasdaq:ANEN),

applications consultant at Synopsys (Nasdaq:SNPS).
