Results were not as bad as expected. Investors like it, and Sprint shares have unfortunately risen above $6 this morning.

 

I will continue to monitor the stock over the next few weeks for possible sub-$6 points to initiate a position.

It's under $6 again

It hit 6.16 today.  42 cents increase in one day.

A significant gain.

 

Any hope left for significant downside is some surprise event or if the general market is down bad. Otherwise, the bottom may have now passed. Let's see what the economic numbers are this week (GDP, jobs, Fed).

 

Congrats to anybody who has a position started at $6 or less.

i don't have sprint or any large value from the company i work at currently.  At one point in time, I had a lot of money invested in my company stock.  My fortune was at the mercy of how well this company was doing and to me this is too much risk.  I currently have a very diverse type of profile and I try to keep a 40/60 diversification.  Forty percent in bonds and the remaining in various stocks.

To diversify your bond position, you may consider putting some of that 40 percent in treasury inflation protection funds. I would hate to see what interest rate increases would do to that portfolio.

After buying Sprint shares near $6, my position has enjoyed a healthy appreciation. Since the market rewarded today's quarterly report, I will probably be in hold mode for the long-haul; don't know if there are any downward catalysts left aside from overall market events.

Great day for S!

Agreed. Hit above $8 for the first time. My position in Sprint has appreciated over 30% the past 2 months.

 

Such a quick run-up should trigger a sell, but I am confident that Sprint will go even higher over the next 2 years.

Any predicted drops soon? Or should I just buy while its still under $9?

The Spectrum deal that Verizon/T-Mobile are making might make it go down a bit - but if Sprint announces a T-Mobile takeover, the stock could skyrocket.  Totally unpredictable.

The stock has already appreciated 50% within the past few months, so you may have missed the boat.

 

If you do buy it now, your patience should have to be at least 1 year, as the stock price is likely to be volatile.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
