Wow, did I get the treatment.
Listen, everyone Long here, we are just going to have to agree to disagree on Winny's action in the short to mid term (I realize I'm running contraying to juust about all the Professional Analysts).
What I meant was that WCII is "Buying" licenses and property and equipment (Big Bucks) rather than selling (a portion) to bigger players (like we were speculating last summer). Not what the insider trades are...
Currently though:
WCII has a -13.85 EPS (OUCH)
It has had 8 straight months on 9 to 10 million shares of shorts. I don't have Feb. info. but maybe someone that does can post it.
What I must figure out here, and SteveG maybe you can help...

If WCII currently has 40.5 million shares outstanding, and approx 10 million are Shorted out (or what ever the pros call it) does that mean that one quarter of the shares out, are loaned shares, and are in a practical sense currently betting that the price will fall?
I'm I off base?

Also something happened in mid Jan. to bring us from the Low 40's to where we are today, anyone know what?

As far as RBOC's, if I'm a member of the target market here; minor / major sized no fibered buildings I can still order T1's like crazy, or wait for a CLEC to bring fiber in, and order more bandwidth that way.

Finally, and then I'll stop, what in the heck is WCII planning to do with that ARTT stock they bought at a premium? It must stick out like a sore thumb on the ol' balance sheet. And why Argentina?

Again, I'm not long or short here.
Just Dreaming for a single digit price to buy. Nothing wrong with waiting, or dreaming...

L: Check the Earnings area in read on SI's WCII main screen, a informed person stated they come out very early in March.

SteveB: Congratulations on your grandchild -- pretty soon you will have no trouble getting out of bed for the opening bell, or was that the opening baby bottle. :-)

Happy Trading, Be safe,
