New ticker symbol post merge with T-Mobile is TMUS.

As well nice job here riding it up PCS!!

This deal has turned into a three ring circus, sold all my today for some nice coin. GLTA

Very Unusual call activity over the last few weeks to say the least...

Linquist is still selling: http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/pcs/insider-trades#.UVOlw65liBU

I am selling my PCS shares in my trust due to dividend payment tax problems. Still have some shares in my IRA account, which will not be effected by dividend payment, but I might sell this as well.

I guess the guy who bought a lot of March 28 11X weekly options also thought the same.Its gonna expire worthless tomorrow unless we see a 5% pop which i doubt.

Honestly thought T-Mobile canning contracts would have caused more price pop in PCS; maybe buy the rumor, sell the news?

The FCC has approved the MetroPCS/T-Mobile USA merger. The announcement isn't surprising, given the agency wants to see AT&T and Verizon face tougher competition.

DISH already made $11 offer for PCS, which did not work out.

Re: PCS price- who knows?
Moorman at S&P has a $12 one year target price for PCS.
S&P proprietary stock model from S&P PCS Stock Report has $13 "fair value" for PCS as of this Monday, March 4th, (it is updated weekly).

$10.52 was previous three month high, which was bested today.
Next resistance levels at $10.77 and $11 on upside; and
$10.35; $9.90 and $9.70 on downside.

I am holding lots of April and May options.There is huge open interest on themWhere do you see PCS by middle of april?Also i hear DISH will put an offer for PCS since CLWR accepted sprint offer.

Mark, pull 3rd stall

Yes, well he still holds about 4.2M shares of PCS.

It looks like Linquist has been taking a dump on his shareholders at or near $10 with every chance he gets. Not that I blame him... i'm just not sure that's going to inspire a lot of investor confidence to break that level

We got volume today, >10M. Short covering? on leaked good PCS earnings on 2/26? I don't know.

Definitely didn't expect this move today. Something brewing here?

Low volume breakout before earnings? Something stinks about this move.

Linquist sold over one million shares in Dec '11. Still holds over 4.2M shares. Go to nasdaq.com "Insider holding."

anything is possible and all men make mistakes... eom

Just a reminder about who bought Sprint..

"I'm a man and I think every man wants to be number one"- Masayoshi Son

All we have are rumors at this point but considering the person behind the transaction I think anything is possible

that is only if S bids... but rumor has it, they won't eom

Per article: @ $13 bid for PCS would equal about 45% of T-mobile stock vrs. the actual 24% in the T-mobile deal! Wow, so this analyst is saying the T-mobile deal is worth about what PCS is trading at this week, about $10.50. If his is right then all the other analysts quoted above are wrong. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-11-30/metropcs-climbs-after-analyst-says-sprint-may-bid-for-company.html?cmpid=yhoo

Well my calls expired. But the deal obviously isn't dead yet for pcs. In options trading the window of time has to align with the substantial move.

Paulson purchased 23.8 million shares of MetroPCS Communications for $9 per share on average, giving him 6.55% of the company.

Well Paulson bought a pretty good chunk of PCS in Q3-12.

PCS Q3-2012 Institutional holders: http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/pcs/institutional-holdings

Point taken.. It could be a foreign investor may make a counter offer to take a majority stake, similar to the Sprint deal. VOD, or domestic private equity could also get the job done. I think we may be running out of time. T-Mobile is pretty close to locked in. The terms are the deal are still fuzzy for an arb play. I just have the Nov. 12.00 call which look cooked. Most my focus is on Nokia (bullish) but theres got to be a quick 20% in this one before all is done.

The question is who would make a counter bid for PCS? The marginal terms for PCS in the T-Mobile deal suggest that Linquist and company did not have any other options available.

I was looking for another buyout offer by Friday. While it won't probably happen by Nov. option expiration, it could definitely happen in the future. 2013!?

Was that a $5.9 million trade that just went through at $10? Seems to be something brewing again at this price

@ $9.83; back to single digits, amazing!

S&P lowers target to $12, from $13. Moorman at S&P lowered this target price for PCS from $13 to $12 on 11/2/12.

earnings were $0.38 in Q3-12, excluding a one time settlement, as per previous posting.

PCS Q3-12 c.c.: http://seekingalpha.com/article/961851-metropcs-communications-management-discusses-q3-2012-results-earnings-call-transcript?source=yahoo

subscriber losses were too high....good chance it sells off further

PCS Q3-12 earning are 52 cents per share or $192.7 million.

The story isn't over yet IMO.
Checking out some Nov 12.00 Calls.

softbank: PCS bid?: http://seekingalpha.com/currents/all

PCS <$11. Institutional investors with the most shares of PCS will toll the bell on the yea or nay re: T-Mobile deal. "Mr. Market" does not like the deal, so who knows how this will play out?

IMO PCS just did not have the spectrum to really deploy G4-LTE. Just my hunch, based on the fact that right after the T-Mobile deal was announced Linquist scraped VoLTE, which was suppose to free up spectrum for PCS. Obviously VoLTE was not working out as planned for PCS.

In my mind Linquist had to make a deal with somebody because PCS just did not have enough spectrum. I have no evidence for this, just my humble opinion, for what its worth.

Anyone care to speculate on how a shareholder lawsuit to block the T-Mobile merger would play out with PCS?

Looks like a good move at this point.

Like a roller coaster she be matey!

Some traders love this action.

I'm just watching with a few shares right now.

@ $11.64 on 63M/shrs traded today. I guess somebody thought Softbank was going to buy PCS, but they are making a bid for Sprint and maybe Clearwire. Terrible price action for PCS.

PCS @ $12.04; Sprint not making bid for PCS, per various reports today.

PCS scraping VoLTE? http://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/Acme+Packet+(APKT)+Dips+as+MetroPCS+(PCS)+to+Scrap+VoLTE+Plans/7781131.html

Per this article PCS is scraping it's VoLTE plans. Could this be the catalyst that forced Linquist to broker a deal with T-Mobile on less than favorable terms?

Article on Sprint, but I think a lot of the ideas here can be put good use in evaluating the PCS/T-Mobile "merger."
