You don't buy companies based on their current p/e. WCOM's current p/e is astronomical because of all the aquisitions they've made over the last few years. MFS, UUNET, and others cost billions. WCOM is a great stock because of projected future earnings going forward. Steve

The following sites provides some basic statistics on WCOM. It's a good starting point: rapidresearch.com stockfever.com For analyst viewpoint, a good example of a WCOM bull is Grubman of Salomon Smith Barney. If you do a search on SI on Grubman, you'll find some posts on Grubman's recommendation. Here's a recent one: techstocks.com For a bearsish view, I understand that the latest edition of Forbes has a bearish article. A Barrons roundtable discussion on telecom. stocks earlier this year had all three analysts recommending WCOM. The article was posted on SI, but it's difficult to go back so far to find it since I can't for the life of me recall the date. The consensus estimate for 1999 is for WCOM to earn around $1.80 - $1.90 per share, that's not including MCI earnings. Others please correct me if I'm wrong. Hope this helps.
