Analysts and investment banks contributing research to Multex.com have identified the most followed companies this week. Of The Internet Analyst's universe of 100 stocks, these are rated STRONG BUY: MCI WORLDCOM (http://www.multexinvestor.com/tickersearch.asp?promo=intern&ticker=WCOM) is rated STRONG BUY by Credit Suisse First Boston, which has a 12-month price target of $110 on the stock.

The current weakness in MCI WORLDCOM's stock is attributed to fear of the company's pending acquisition of NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS (http://www.multexinvestor.com/tickersearch.asp?promo=intern&ticker=NXTL) and in the broker's opinion, creates a buying opportunity.

To ALL: I've been a lurker on this thread for probably a couple of years now. I finally got my cheap self to fork over the $200 dollars for a lifetime membership so that maybe I can be a contributor and not just a taker. I am long Dell. I have a core position of DELL stock as well as May40 and May45 Calls. I am looking for Dell to be around 50 before Earnings and my Margin balance is depending on it. I try to stay out of Margin but DELL was so tasty at these levels ... Good Luck to ALL. I almost feel like I know many of you after reading so many of your posts. Thanks for your Contributions. Good investing ... Kirk out.
