The only objectionable thing I saw there was a very high cash to debt ratio.
Anything to worry about in that regard?
The question was in response to VoiceStream's debt. Currently VoiceStream
has 79 million in cash, no short term debt and over one billion in long term debt
position. 90% of that long long term debt is due after the year 2003. This gives
VoiceStream many years to play out their hand. I see no short term problem on this
front. Following is the payout schedule of the long term debt.
Six months ending December 31, 1999 .............. $ 0
Year ending December 31,
2000 ............................................. 0
2001 ............................................. 21,250
2002 ............................................. 40,000
2003 ............................................. 58,750
Thereafter ....................................... 905,000
----------
$1,025,000

I am wondering whether you're familiar with CTXS. I have copied the following
over from a post on the Wireless World board.
< Gross margins of 95% TTM, net margins of 35% TTM, 100% trailing revenue
growth, and consensus long-term estimated EPS growth of 41.67%. Overvalued? How
does a year-forward P/E of 36 sound? The only problem is it's got to keep MSFT
out of its hair.>
I think any company that boasts these kind of figures is certainly worth looking
at! What do you think?

I am following the whole Software Enterprise Industry from a distance. I really
like many companies in the industry including Citrix, Siebel and Veritas. "Smart
money" also loves these companies and are pouring money into these stocks. The
numbers look great on all these companies and the technicals are superb.
They look good as a long term hold from my distant vantage position. Your
concern about Microsoft is a valid one and Oracle is also a significant player
in this industry. In fact, the CEO of Siebel previously worked for Oracle and the
rivalry is intense.
I would like you and others to keep me posted on these companies. I follow smart
money and it is definitely flowing into these companies. I see their names
pop up in my research all the time. Citirix looks like it is about to take off
in price(barring a market melt down). Good luck.
Best wishes,
Doug
