FTE vs. GTE.......

Notice the manipulation on the part of Seth Jayson. Extremely low volume - just like last time. The post happens 30 minutes before close, again, to get a reaction of fear from investors (which didn't happen, btw). He wants to manipulate, and my perspective is that Motley Fool has a shadier business-motive than any of the companies behind the stocks they bash.

Interestingly....

Quoted from the article:
"For another point of reference, consider that Europe's largest broadband provider, France Telecom (NYSE: FTE), has only 10 million Internet customers -- the number GlobeTel says it aims to get in just three years in Russia. Yet France Telecom operates in the affluent regions of Spain, the U.K., the Netherlands, and France, where, according to World Bank figures, people have at least two or three times the purchasing power of Russians."

Important notice: Motley Fool is also promoting France Telecom in another recent article.

Now at first, the reference to France Telecom (NYSE: FTE) in this paragraph seems to be used to dampen the possibility that Globetel can find 10 million customers in Russia. On closer look, his mention of purchasing power in Spain, U.K., and Netherlands identifies some large-scale wealth statistic, that may be completely irrelevant to the extension of internet services in Russia. There is no mention of WiMAX vs. phone/cable lines transmission, and the lack of availability of phone/cable lines in Russia, a much more relevant matter that would influence the number of WiMAX subscribers than average wealth in Russia relative to France/Neth/UK. There is no mention of whether or not France Telecom even offers WiMAX.

This is probably why. They are still in the early stages of testing, and foresee tough competition in France:

This is starting to look like S.J. is attempting to degrade the competition of one of his own stocks by contrasting the overall financial resources of potential customer bases in each respective company's operating domain. Meanwhile he's stepping over the fact that FTE is lagging behind with their WiMAX advancements - a significant downfall. Promotion of FTE through bashing of GTE!!! We may have found his motive.

The match is on: FTE vs. GTE.
