Mort, you are looking at this deal in A DOWN MARKET for WIRELESS. The point though is that they have 35,000,000 customers and climbing. In the future they will be spun off from AT&T. It is extremely likely that at that point ( if not sooner ) they will go with new CDMA technology. They have the name recognition which is very important. So they can easily go back to $50/share. Wendt said that: " we will sell Tritel, in the NORMAL COURSE of business . This is NOT a firesale ".
We continue to have 2X2 morons on this thread such as pea-sized-brain-kevin who are bound and determined to outguess, outsmart, outcalculate,
Wendt, the guy responsible for 50% of GEs growth an profits last 13 years: GE, the biggest, and most profitable co that exists and ever existed.
It takes time to go through all these posts because I have to keep clicking past morons like kevin etc.
But.I understand that this is not a perfect world and so I tolerate it.
PS: Do you also put Wendt in the looser category like the rest of the morons?
So far Wendt has done everything he said he'd do as fast, if not faster. He has confounded all the 2X2 analysts who have never run a company and who when this market corrects and the brokers start having layoffs will be put out on the street to pasture because their high PEs ( read salaries ) are way in excess of market valuations and what they deliver.
And, don't forget bottom line:
60,000,000 shorts waiting to cover: Wendt now says that starting next Q he will be giving guidance to earnings. This guy is amoney machine.The news is getting better. The longs are not selling as seen by low volumes all along. Folks instead hav been steadily buying as demonstrated by the need of SHORTS to
K E E P S H O R T I N G CNC
to pevent a price rise and short squeeze.
Well I believe shorts are running out of time. In the early dawn, longs can see the short squeeze looming in the horizon like a bad nightmare for shorts. Don't you just love it?
got to go,
back much, much later.
cheers,
TA

According to the latest 13F filing by Conseco they own 900,720 shares of Telecorp PCS valued at $36.3 million as of that date now worth $12.7 million and 0 shares of Tritel. I don't think this is a very big deal.
