Zacks Rank for NEXTEL COMMS -A: 3 HOLD

A Zacks #3 rank rates stocks as a HOLD. Unfortunately Wall Street firms have
tainted the word "Hold" and most people take that to mean, "Sell". The Zacks Rank
has an equal number of Buy versus Sell ratings and thus our Hold rating means that
a stock should perform relatively the same as the overall market. Such is the case
with the actual results. Since 1988, Zacks #3 ranked stocks have gained +9.6% per
year, which is very close to the overall results of the S&P 500.

Note that the Zacks Rank uses a scale of 1- 5 with 1 being the highest and 5 the
lowest ranking. And in the last three years, #1 ranked stocks have gained +13.3%
while the markets have suffered through historic declines. Conversely the S&P has
beaten the #5 ranked stocks of Strong Sells by 166.7% annually on average since
1988. These are stocks to sell immediately.
