"you'll likely make another 5 to 10 fold on an invest in Qualcomm today held over the next 8 to 10 years."

As a QCOM long, I'd appreciate seeing your rationale for this statement. My personal belief has been that QCOM should be worth $100-150/sh once the WCDMA takes off. What kind of earnings do you expect in 10 years to justify a share price of 200-400? How many handsets/CDMA devices is that? Roughly speaking, QCOM currently generates 1 penny in earnings for every million handsets sold. For an eps of $20, that requires sales of 2 billion CDMA devices annually in a sustained fashion. That seems overly optimistic, even if the problems with WCDMA can be resolved, as we all hope.

Just wondering what you consider to be a "likely" forecast. Thanks in advance. I certainly hope you are right <ggg>.
