Level 3 Communications, Inc. (LVLT)

CAPS Rating:

Through its operating subsidiaries, the Company engages in the communications business. The Company is facilities based provider of a range of integrated communications services.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Communications are usually a good thing to bet on, however, looking at the track record here with Level 3, from 2000 thru 2002 we saw this stock drop from over $130 a share down to $3.40's. There are no splits involved with the drop. That happened in 2 years! in 6 years, this stock has not changed a...More

Recs 0 (LVLT) CaseyAnthony (< 20) Submitted: 9/12/08 4:34 AM : Start Price: $3.09 LVLT Score: 35.43 Level 3 Communications Integration of their purchased 6 networks has stopped-well 99% has stopped. Level 3 Communications has stopped the integration of networks to save Quarterly losses. 99% has stopped. 1% continues and they brag about it. Level 3 communication is letting Juniper M160 routers go into End Of Life Cycle to save money so Quarterly losses look less. Level 3 Communications states less Quarterly losses. This is because intetegrations have stopped. Level 3 Communications doesn't say this is because the integration of the 6 purchased companies has stopped CONTRADICTORY to what stockholders have been told. CEO Jim Crowe continues to spew his spin. So what if a little work is done. 99% of integrations has stopped. 1% continues. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 1 (LVLT) sirrex13 (< 20) Submitted: 9/10/08 3:17 PM : Start Price: $3.02 LVLT Score: -34.65 It seems to me everyone who plays level 3, plays them short term. They buy low, around 3.00 a share, wait for it to go to about 3.25-30 sells and does it all over again. This stock averages 15-20 million in volume every day. The stock rarely ever goes up 3 or 4 days in a row. When it does everyone cashes out, the stock goes back down people re-buy it and so on and so on. That's the only reason I could think of why this stock doesn't take off. This is one of the few stocks I know that constantly goes down on good news, and just about always goes up when the market is down. With the past 6 months of good that's happened with this stock, it should be selling at 5-6 dollars per share. The best thing that could happen to Level 3 would be for AT+T to buy them out, then we might make some real money. Report this Post Replies: 1 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (LVLT) biogem (< 20) Submitted: 9/10/08 11:25 AM : Start Price: $2.96 LVLT Score: 35.09 The internal structure must be in place in order for this stock to take off. Mis-management is the culture of this company, for years we have been waiting for a take off. Nothing yet, and with a slowing in global spending margins will be lower. Long Term over the next few years, maybe the issues can be corrected and this stock will fly, but you must be very patient. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
