<<<I agree with Big Bo (aka NeoRush) about 20's upcoming>>>
Very good- Neo Rush.
Qcom is trash, patents only worth what people will pay, becoming less valuable as time passes.Was glad to see the man who invented intermittent wipers win his suit against the car companies. I think it was the year before( or was it the year after?) he died.
IMO the good Doctor was mislead by financial advisors who said what he liked to hear - that the patents were very valuable . Cant say they were wrong, was good for original insiders- but now must be more practical.

Gold?
I bought some gold pieces 36 years ago - a bargain at $640 /oz. Still waiting for the big crash when they will appreciate.
However I was able to swap one for a 1970 Cadillac (my first and last) and one for a 1972 Mercedes which I repaired , drove for 3 years, and then sold for $3200. Which put me into the business hobby of fixing and selling old MBZ's. I still have 3 of those left- one blue, one white,one grey-but only two gold pieces.. .
Conclusion:
Its better to put the $300 into house paint, a hobby, or energy-saving insulation than a gold piece.
