No 7. AT&T

　　美国电话电报公司

　　Ahh, the glamorous life of AT&T: best friends with Steve Jobs, exclusive rights to the iPhone (for now) and carrier of choice on the iPad. So why, with everything going for it, did the stock miss a huge rally? In the year ending April 1, Apple soared 109% and the S&P 500 rose 41%. AT&T? Down 2%. The problem is growth, or lack thereof: little in its saturated wireless business and a decline in landlines, which still accounts for 25% of sales. Unless its high-speed Internet business takes off or the iPad drives new wireless growth, the beatings by Wall Street will continue.

　　啊，美国电话电报公司的命真好：同史蒂夫?乔布斯的关系最好，拥有iPhone的独家运营权（现在是如此），还是iPad的运营商之一。一切都对它有利，可为什么股票没有猛涨呢？截至4月1日，今年苹果公司的股价已经飙升109%，标准普尔指数也上升了41%。美国电话电报公司的股票呢？下跌了2%。问题在于发展，或者说缺乏发展：无线业务已经饱和，发展甚微，而占销售额25%的有线电话业务却出现萎缩。除非其高速互联网业务，或者iPad促使新的无线业务实现增长，否则其股票在华尔街将会继续遭受打击。
