<Did Tero actually say that Nortel, Lucent, Sony, Qualcomm...are "biting the dust"? Last I looked these companies are alive and well.

All I can say is that quote was a direct "cut and paste" from an actual Tero post. These forums are about investing. If Tero is commenting on the handset division (and I imagine he must be) I think he should put it in context in order to avoid misleading new participants. But my comments were directed at Tero's inability to understand Qualcomm's business model and the lucrative investment opportunity that it has shown itself to be. I don't consider myself brilliant, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why Tero has continued to portray Nokia as a more lucrative investment than Qualcomm. Plenty have tried to show him the errors of his analysis, but he seems to be more intent on arguing preconceived beliefs than discovering true investment potential.

I think these forums are a valuable tool for individual investors to help secure their futures and am saddened when I see otherwise intelligent people misleading less fortunate people (people who have avoided investing in Qualcomm based on Tero's arguments). My comments are intended to help individual investors realize that the most well-written (and seemingly knowledgeable) posters do not necessarily have the best advice. Many people do not have the time to review all of a posters past advice in order to appraise the value of his/her views. Hopefully, my comments will help provide a more rounded picture from which individual investors can make an informed decision. Your mileage may vary.
