How low can Worldcom stock go?

Wed Jun 26 02:27:54 UTC 2002

Accoriding to Reuters:

-- WorldCom sees $2 billion a year in cash savings.

-- WorldCom will lay off 17,000 workers starting Friday, which will save
about $900 million annually.

-- WorldCom will sell off non-core businesses, including South American
assets, and its wireless resale business, which will save $700 million
annually;

-- WorldCom will save about $375 million annually by paying some preferred
dividends in common stock, not cash, deferring some dividends, and
discontinuing the dividend on the its MCI tracking stock.

-- WorldCom will also cut capital expenditures in 2002 and forecasts 2003
capital investment at $2.1 billion.

The usual stock sites have the releases.  Ironically, Anderson stated
tonight their work complied with accounting standards.

Wonder where the 17,000 souls are going to come from?
