BRIEF: WorldPort Communications is a facilities-based global telecommunications carrier offering voice, data and other services to carriers, Internet service providers, medium and large corporations, and distributors and resellers. For the FY ended 12/31/98, revenues totalled $28.6M, up from $2.8M. Net loss totalled $76.8M, up from $3.5M. Results reflect the acquisition of EnerTel, offset by increased business development and other S/G/A expenses.

Summary:
The large increase in volume this past week (and a fellow poster on my thread) alerted me to this stock. Takeover rumor story on bloomberg was unbiased as far as I can tell. The second takeover story was from a paid promoter of the stock but provides some useful information.

Chart indicates a definite uptrend but resistance at the $10 level. I would consider this a safer pick if it breaks $10 this week and maintains it. I however take more risk and have taken a position @ $9.25 with a mental stop loss at $8 for the time being.

Personal target of $15-$18 but will most likely sell with waning of momentum and volume.

Good Luck,

Essam.
