'Bullet Proof Qwest'
Q  (QWEST COMM INTL INC)

"If there's one thing that can make you some mad money, it's mindless hatred!

But hatred is nothing unless you combine it with ignorance.  A hated stock is a bad stock, but a hated stock that people don't know enough about - that could make you moolah!  And that's why I think it's time for you to buy Qwest (Q)!

This stock is just despised - it's so disliked.  I am here to tell you that the haters are wrong.

I think Qwest is a triple buy - buy, buy, buy!

Q was down for the count and I was just about to leave it for dead.  It turns out that this thing is a money-making machine!  I thought Q was a joke; actually, it's a textbook comeback!

Now, I'm willing to say that this turnaround is perhaps one of the best that I've seen.  Is it up there with FWLT* - Yes!

The Q story is strong, but I didn't tell you this was a comeback play; I told you it was a hatred play.   Q is doing well, but that's not the key to this story - oh, no.

Right now, the analysts who cover the stock have 2 buys, 13 holds and 9 sells! 

I love these situations where the fundamentals are obviously improving, but the analysts just havene't gotten it worked out yet.  No, no, they've got their head in the sands.

When far more people hate a great stock than like it, that's when Cramer moves in for the kill! 

The mechanics of this are simple.  If Q keeps doing well - if they keep beating - then all these analysts should have to upgrade.  Guess what?  People actually buy and sell stocks based upon how these analysts rate them.

Cramer - he don't listen to analysts that much; he just 'games' them.  That's what I'm teaching you to do right now.  I'm gaming the Q analysts.  I know you can play this game at home.

The bottom line!:  The legals problems are past; the balance sheet is fixed.  Interest charges are decreasing.  And all the bears will probably have to upgrade, at least to a 'hold' if not to a 'buy.'   I think you have to buy Q!"
