Stock of the Day 11/23/07


(VIP) Vimpel-Communications provides wireless telecommunications services in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. The company offers its services under the Beeline, K-mobile, EXCESS, and Armentel brand names. Its wireless services include voice telephony services; value added services, including voice mail, short messaging service, call forwarding, wireless Internet access, entertainment and information services, and music and data transmission services; and access to both national and international roaming service. The company offers these services to its subscribers under two types of payment plans, which include contract plans and prepaid plans. Vimpel also sells wireless handsets and accessories to its subscribers. As of December 31, 2006, it had approximately 55.1 million subscribers. Vimpel-Communications has strategic partnership with Telenor East Invest AS and Alfa Group. The company was founded in 1992 and is based in Moscow, Russia.

Vimple has a forecasted EPS of $1.71 per share, which would give it an estimated Earnings Growth Rate of 29.00% vs a PE ratio of 18 so the stock is very cheap. Stock has held up very well during the decline and was actually up on some of the really bad days. Stock has value til a price of $49.95 per share. Best part of this story is the rest of the world is growing a lot faster than the US and from a very low base and thats where VIP sells. I do not own this stock but its a part of one of my mutual funds. and i looking to go long but i am looking to open a position.

Extremely Oversold

This is the lowest close seen in years, usually a sharp and violent rally follows these moves enhanced by short covering, this is no time to short and start making a shopping list.

Dow Graph: 11/20/07
The Dow looks like its fighting for its life here at the level. It's no surprise there was a vicious bounce off the trend line as shown in the chart. Unfortunately, the last time we had that five hundred point reversal day was caused by the Fed stepping in, there has to be a similar event that helps the market or there is more pain ahead. The Fed minutes said nothing the market really liked, we sold off hard and bounced back hard as we hit support. This was just a reflex rally we may have to get one more really painful selloff to get around 12500.
