How about a Telephony Y2K slowdown play on a MO stock: INSS. My field operatives tell me that no/minimal new switches going in after June 1. LU and NT sales REALLY starting to slow down. Wonder what that means for International Network Services, which is selling at a forward P/E of 88 and has a five year estimated annual growth rate in earnings of 44 (ie INSS is selling at 2X it's growth rate (P/E/G)) Comments?
