I appreciate that you are short BRCM and have little to say that means anything but please don't waste my time unless you really have significant detailed information to report.

Just to show you how easy it is to see things the opposite of your postings, consider this:

1) Intel made a thoroughly researched and comprehensive lawsuit against BRCM in March.

2) Nothing unbelieveable has happened in 5 months to cause a completely new lawsuit.

3) The court appointed someone to watch BRCM and make sure they did not infringe on any Intel patents back in march.

4) The court appointed person is not complaining.

5) Most Wall Street people are yawning at the whole mess. They report it will have little siginifant effect.

You can scare a lot of people out of a stock with Chicken-Little alarms but they usually don't work.

Look at ORCL. A few weeks ago they scared SEBL stock price down 30 points with all kinds of saber rattling. It just made a big buying opportunity for sober minded fund managers.

The opposite of your view is this:
(BRCM down 30+ points on emotion) + (fund managers don't feel it is major) = (BRCM strong buying opportunity and rebound)
