Luc baby. I feel bad for you. Buy GTE. You will not be sorry. There is a BEL takeout of GTE at 1.22 to 1 ratio and the remaining open item is FCC approval with closure expected in 1Q 2000. A hedging & arbitrage play on the BEL GTE deal will net you about 6.8% (before transactions fees) if this deal is consumated.

I stayed up all night double checking the SEC filings on this deal and other baby bell action. The BEL/GTE deal doesn't have any dilution unlike the recent SBC/Ameritech merger which is putting downside pressure on SBC's stock price.
