We all know why the net has fluctuated so much - the acquisitions our man Ebbers has made. In the time that WCOM has nearly quadrupled revenue, T has managed to chop 33% off of theirs. First-tier indeed.

PT: Do you think they're lying about revenue? Growth?

The price to sales ratio is high because people are anticipating rocketing sales. If you don't want to pay for growth, buy a utility company - that will have a nice low beta for you too.

If price/sales is the best you can come up with, go bother another thread.
