How many of you are gaining a reputation as a "stock guru" because of your history in purchasing QCOM and how many of you feel responsible for the wealth of friends and family simply due to the fact that people keep asking your advice regarding stocks and QCOM in particular?
I see this happening everywhere. I live in San Luis Obispo and everywhere I go either get hearty thanks (one man kissed me at a party last week) and questions on what to buy next, or I get the "Gee, I wish I would have listened to you last year," and then they too especially want my current recommendations.
I also get several calls a week for advice.
My broker at MSDW in San Diego area has become somewhat of a local hero because of the hundreds of people he's put into QCOM over the years. He was the best performing MSDW broker in the U.S. last year due to his QCOM holding clients. Now he's got zillions of people wanting his services.
His brother's story is similar to mine, only he's in Yacama (sp?), Washington. He's a doctor and has gotten many of the doctors in town into QCOM and is now the local guru.
It's a crack up how many clients of my broker have similar stories like his brother and I. And, in turn, some people we've turned on to QCOM reports that they, too, have become popular due to putting many of their own group of friends and associates in QCOM.
I told my broker that it's like a Multi Level Marketing company, with many levels of QCOM disciples spreading the word.
BTW, I've been recommending some of the same stocks many here on the thread have, like JDSU. Of course, I've been pounding the table on QCOM over the last week. But, when asked for a company that could possibly do another QCOM-like rise, that is still early in their game, I'm recommending Echelon (ELON). I started telling people about this company at around 8 and it's now 25 or so. Look at the CEO and look at their partners. |
