Telecom buys - XOCM, GLBC ?
Are there any values in the beaten up telecom sector. Conventional wisdom would suggest there should be value in one of these post bankrupty plays. I am looking at GLBC and XOCM but business looks still pretty dire there - both companies are loosing money, revenues are shrinking.

For GLBC the valuation looks as follows: 22M shares aoutstanding x 30$/shares is around 660M$ market cap , not too expensive for a business that still has 3B$ in revenue, but about 220M$ loss.
Does anybody have an convincing argument which stock to buy?

A previous mention I made of an NTE trade was wrong. I meant symbol NITE. Today though, I am adding a few shares to my relatively large NTE position.

Good profit margins, good roe, good growth. Relatively high p/sales though, imo. Forward p/e attracts, assuming they can continue to deliver the earnings performance.
