I like the business model of this small company, Virgin Mobile, (VM). As a wireless telecommunications services provider it offers "prepaid and postpaid" wireless services to the youth market mainly in the Untied States. If you are like… More

They no longer advertise, all of the other major phone companys have new phones advertised monthly, which is what brings in the customers. Poor customer service, this company is a sinking ship.

It has hit the top of its value. It has to implode soon.

I like the business model of this small company, Virgin Mobile, (VM). As a wireless telecommunications services provider it offers "prepaid and postpaid" wireless services to the youth market mainly in the Untied States. If you are like me, a parent of two teenagers, it is certainly a welcomed service.

Most importantly however it like some of its fundamentals. According to VectorVest.com, VM which is currently trading just a shade below $5.00 has a current Value of $10.34 per share.

I understand that the another giant wireless service provider, Sprint (S) is trying to acquire VM. I feel that such a move could enhance Sprint's value and broaden its market. We'll see.

When I checked "Market Edge's" opinion on the stock, the opined that: its "Up/Down volume pattern indicates that the stock is under Accumulation. The 50 day Moving Average is rising which is Bullish. The 200 day Moving Average is rising which is Bullish.
Price is above Resistance of 4.77 which is Bullish.

Based on these expert opinions and other information that I have seen, my Fool's commonsense tells me that VM will break above its 52 weeks high of $5.32 soon. When this occurs what will be the next upper limit for VM? Your guess will be as good as mine, but I will set m upper limit at $10.34 per share as valued by VectorVest.com.

The MVNO business model has proven to be disastrous. Bottom line, there is nothing this company can do that the bigger companies (that actually own the networks) can't.
