I bought some Worldcom too at around $40. Boy, was I wrong about that stock.

Good luck funsdead. I hope everything works out for you.

I was MCIWorldcom's Top Senior Account Executive back in 98-99. As soon as I came back from my President's Club trip to Atlantis -Bahamas Resort I'd moved on to Winstar and as soon as I was done with my Presidents Club trip at Winstar I left to go to AOL Time Warner. It seems my career path is pretty well thought out because as soon as I exit the company they go under. No plans to leave AOL Time Warner as of yet.

I had great times at Worldcom; sorry to see them and yourself caught in this predicament.
