Solomon Smith Barney had WCOM on their list of buys for 2000, with a very strong report from Jack Grubman, who has a very good reputation.
IMO, Bernie screwed up when he didn't get NXTL at 40. NXTL is down to 110 now. It would have been a perfect fit. Nevertheless, IMO, this stock is a damn good balance between growth and risk, and I wouldn't time the buying, because it is easy to miss. Three yrs from now, the 2 points won't matter, but the gains will.
IMO, WCOM will drift until the Sprint acquisition is clarified, and then move up steadily..
