Networks Corp - Rating Review Nortel Networks Ltd. downgraded to A (low) by DBRS Nortel Networks Corp NT Shares issued 3,099,655,476 2001-06-15 close $15.17 Monday Jun 18 2001 Rating Review Mr. Paul Holman of Dominion Bond Rating Service reports Rating: A (low) Trend: Negative Rating action: Downgrade Debt rated: Notes and other long- term senior debt Rating: Pfd-2 (low) Trend: Negative Rating action: Downgrade Debt rated: Class A, redeemable preferred shares Rating: Pfd-2 (low)n Trend: Negative Rating action: Downgrade Debt rated: Class A, non-cumulative redeemable preferred shares Nortel Networks Ltd.'s (Nortel) ratings have been downgraded to A (low) from A for long-term debt and to Pfd-2 (low) from Pfd-2 for cumulative preferred shares, all with negative trends. Nortel Networks Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nortel Networks Corp. The dramatic downturn in several of the company's core markets, as indicated in the company's recent announcement, continues to cause reductions in DBRS's outlook for sales growth and margins for 2001 and 2002. Even if there is industry stabilization in 2002, Nortel will face intense competition from other major telecom equipment suppliers, which are facing similar difficulties. The rating downgrade reflects the heightened level of uncertainty concerning the telecom equipment industry. While Nortel has access to the capital markets and bank facilities to finance its negative free cash flow, it must continue to quickly implement cost-cutting initiatives and remain customer-focused in order to turn free cash flow positive, in line with the more modest outlook for its core sectors. Given the $2-billion (U.S.) of additional bank debt (if fully drawn) and the $14.9-billion (U.S.) non-cash writedown related to good will and discontinued operations of Nortel Networks Corp., Nortel's debt-to-capital ratio will increase from approximately 11 per cent to over 35 per cent, with a related decline in coverage ratios.

John I wish you every success in the world, but if you live in a glass house don't throw rocks. Each and every call of yours for NT to rise in the last week, has not materialized. Your hands must be bloodied trying to catch the bottom. I'd byte my lip for awhile and not throw a jab every time it rises 20 cents. By your own accounts it woulk appear you are in for about 125 k at probably 16 and heavy change, give or take.* That is a deep loss of principle for a trader.Traders sell stocks going down, and buy stocks going up. Tolerate minimal losses to protect purchasing power. Zero bragging rights. Go get em! Frank
