MetroPCS offers an inferior good to the market, but one that a number of people cannot afford. If the economy does well more and more people will be able to get MetroPCS and many will leave it-- resulting in a fluctuating customer base. If the economy does poorly MetroPCS might actually benefit by being the only 'super' low cost competitor.

Reasonable P/E, targeting a growing hispanic population, decent profitability debt, and price/ book value, balance sheets reflect a growing company that's cutting liabilities.

Disclaimer: Might by a real position over the next few months
