In comparison, QCOM moved from $216 to $354 a 64% increase. Wow.
StockHawk: this post is not at you, but at the concept, that shows up a lot on this thread, of comparing returns between Gorillas and non-Gorillas here. If I had other stocks than Q, JDSU would be one of them, and Gemstar would be another.
However, I would regard JDSU as riskier than Q, because it is not a Gorilla. I expect an investment that is higher risk to return more, so it is no big deal to me that JDSU is doing better.
My two best stocks last year were AOL and DELL, a King and a Prince. I held my breath while I held them, AOL especially, and I ran like a rabbit at the first sign of trouble.
By the way, God help JDSU if the Canadian content law ever changes! I don't expect that to ever happen, the people running the Canadian Government are out and out socialists, and hate it when some Canadians are more prosperous than others. |
