WorldCom is cheap relative to its brethren. Qwest Communications is a fascinating example of the great public- works project that is the Internet: It's laying hundreds of miles of fiber-optic cable crisscrossing the country. Qwest is pricier on both an earnings and sales-multiple basis: about 7.7 times sales on a recent price of about $33, while the company is expected to lose 17 cents a share this year on further expansion of its network. At a recent price of around $47, WorldCom trades at about 6.1 times sales and 53 times this year's projected earnings. WCOM/MCIC ought to be compared to major telecom carriers such as T and FON, not the likes of QWST and LVLT. Price/sales: WCOM - ~7.0 T - ~1.9 FON - ~2.1 MCIC - ~2.4 (including a takeover premium) I'd not be surprised if one day WCOM pulled a cendant on its investors. Let's hope that this will not happen tomorrow 'cause I hold a double position in WCOM. If WCOM beats the street's estimates tomorrow, consider dumping your entire position at the open before some beancounter puts their numbers under a microscope. PTB
