My experience as a customer of this company has been a nightmare. Hope the stock does better for you than their service did for me.

Well to answer your stinging questions - If the merger does not go through WCOM will still go higher after a modest pullback from institutions who bought into the story. Personally I hope that the merger does not go through because I think it will be dilutive to earnings for at least two years and will be a very difficult integration despite the fact that MCI earnings potential has been greatly overstated which is now coming to light as they restate their earnings. I do not know where you got your data from because besides my post to Litl chucky and reevey who popped off big time last year when WCOM vs ECI discussion originated I have posted here once so your data is incorrect. And don't discount the good telcom analysts (Goldman, Montgomery Securities) I think they understand the story just a little better than you. And in regards to the big ECI news - well I have heard it before. Do you realize that this stock has not traded above its first aftermarket trade from over three years ago despite the biggest run in the markets history. Those are the facts!!! Where as WCOM is up 500% ECI is down 30%. Come on now who really looks stupid and who really knows how to invest in this sector. You want to look really stupid go back and calculate the NPV and IRR of your investment and maybe throw in opportunity cost for a little salt. The fact that you guys can defend your investment despite "autrocious" market data is amazing so put your tail between your legs and try and suck it up like a man. No more replies from me for a year when we will once again see ECI lower and WCOM higher...
