Re: [CANSLIM] Qwest research [CANSLIM] Merry Xmas [CANSLIM] RE:Merry Whatever (was Merry Xmas) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2002 07:18:47 -0500 From: "Tom Worley" Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Qwest research I noted on the chart that the number of mutual funds holding "Q" has been steadily dropping for the past year, so I would agree with you on the lack of institutional interest. With the combination of the FCC approval on Monday, and the completion of the "bond swap" to lower their debt, this could change, but the forecast of continued losses for 2003 doesn't paint this company in a positive way. Here is an excerpt from one story at Yahoo on all this. It appears that the bond swap was accomplished under the threat of possible bankruptcy, and a lowering in standing of the creditors if that occurred. "Qwest, which has been trying to stave off bankruptcy, said on Monday that a new entity, Qwest Services Corp., issued $3.3 billion of new bonds in exchange for about $5.2 billion of existing bonds issued by Qwest Capital Funding. Qwest said its debt load fell to about $22.6 billion from $24.5 billion. Analysts said the transaction gives Qwest -- which has suffered from stiff competition, too much high-speed network capacity and weak demand -- greater financial flexibility. Qwest is also selling its profitable QwestDex phone book business for $7.05 billion. S&P nevertheless viewed the bond swap as a "distressed exchange." It cut Qwest's corporate credit rating two notches from "CC" and Qwest Capital Funding's debt rating one notch from "C." Some bondholders had challenged the swap as "coercive," saying that Qwest was forcing them to exchange their bonds at below face value, or else fall lower in the pecking order for repayment in case Qwest went broke. A federal judge last week denied their motion to block the exchange." - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Wednesday, December 25, 2002 2:36 AM Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Qwest research pshah: I don't want to argue the point. This is just how Q appears to me: You could be right; however, I think you are wrong. Q is not in a bullish mode. Here is why I think that: Earnings, and even projected '03 Earnings, are negative; There is A LOT of overhead resistance (I believe that both these points support the fact that institutions will not invest in Q. They would have bought Q in the 90's when "Romance" of internet stocks was in full bloom, but I don't believe they would now. Earnings are what will propel the stock tomorrow, not fanciful notions); One could argue that Q has made a V-shaped cup, but going from about 1 up to 4½ is not my idea of a rally (the cup's subsequent trough should be a correction from an immediately preceding rally). To me the chart looks like a rally correction of an ongoing downtrend. I'll never understand (although I probably did it myself) the novice's mad love affair with technical analysis for technical analysis's sake. If something isn't kosher, why acceed to it? For example, you say that the RS has been increasing, gapping up on higher volume and "not violating the gap". I say: Big Deal. This just says that the stock is doing better than the market-so the question becomes why choose this stock over others with better and more powerful RS-Lines? Also, what is the connection between your implication that the stock is strong because the RS-Line did not violate the gap? In my opinion, the RS-Line is not the stock; the only thing that can be read in the RS-Line is: that it is steep, that it is level or that it is plunging. As I said, you could be right and I could be wrong. However, a successful stock picker must not only learn so that he/she can understand chart analysis, but also he/she must be able to view the chart realistically, and understand what is and what is not significant (even though a lot in the chart may actually be relevant). jans In a message dated 12/25/2002 1:34:53 AM Eastern Standard Time, pshah@lason.com writes: << To me the chart looks very bullish.
