Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in T-Mobile Us Inc as long as the indicators that I describe in my book The Confident Investor are favorable. Investors should be cautious with T-Mobile as the company is regularly in talks to acquire other companies or to be acquired. This can vastly increase the volatility of the company as well as subject management to distractions from running a successful business.
