    A Solid Strategy

    A stock that caught my attention several months ago was Portugal Telecom (NYSE: PT).  At first glance, Portugal Telecom looked like a Strong Buy with a moderate amount of risk.  After all, according to MSN Money’s Financial Highlights, Portugal Telecom pays a dividend of more than 14%, grew revenues at more than 64%, and grew earnings at more than 217%.  Those numbers are, however, a bit more »
