I SEE A NEGATIVE SIDE....SOMEONE HELP ME Around 1993 I bought MFS Communications that was builing Fiber Optics across the United States. Seem like for the same reason as QWST. The IPO Price was around $20+ ??. Six months after the IPO I bought MFS for $45. It promptly dropped to $15. Three years latter it was bought-out for around $35+. QWST worrys me, as it seems like another MFS. 1. Wall Street Investment Bankers seem to support their IPO's price for 6 or so months, then they sell out and the price drops. Hasn't it been about 6 months since the IPO ??? 2. I see that earnings for year ended 1998 are NEGATIVE. What do ou show??? 3. If earnings last QT were $.12 x 4 month = .48 cents. $60 price/.48 = 125 PE Isn't this high....help me with this. 4. Don't get mad at me. Maybe someone can show me something I don't see. Eventually all stocks sell at a reasonable PE. 5. It cost alot of money and takes many years to build fiber optics across the US. MFS took 4+ years. Will they need more money (issue more shares)? 6. My gut suggestion is that if anyone wants insurance on this stock, take out a PUT for insurance (just in case).
