<<there are rumors that AT&T is technically insolvent and likely to go bankrupt>> Hee Hee...methinks Heinz has been spending a bit too much time on those Gold threads! That one's too far over the top for even ME to believe! OTOH, if true, BubbleBoy will pump in another $100 billion, and the SPX will rally another 20%! Problem solved!<GGG>

I believe AT&T has a 44 billion dollar buyout offer from Comcast for AT&T broadband. Microsoft may be bidding on it as well as Cox and AOL Time Warner.

Why do you think they just did the biggest corporate bond offering ever at what I consider a highly unattractive rate? They were facing having their commercial paper downgraded. Needless to say there are plenty of buyers in the wings for the assets, what remains to be seen is if the name AT&T survives in any form what-so-ever after the broadband properties, the long distance and the business unit is sold off in pieces. T. Micheal Armstrong will go down in history as having killed T single handedly.
