LOL... there you go, wailing about motive again Steve.

If someone has nefarious motives for articulating sound reasoning, so what? Are you going to dismiss the sound reasoning? Maybe, but then you might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Conversely, if someone has the purest of motives but ends up dispensing gibberish, then what does that mean? Are you going to follow like a lemming as they wade out to sea? Maybe, your herd instinct might be stronger than your capacity for independent critical reasoning.

In the end, folks offering an opinion will either be right or they will be wrong. Regardless of whatever motive led them to offer their opinion in the first place.

In the end, the market doesn't give a $hit about motive. It cares only about results. Let's bookmark this interval Steve and come back to it as the years pass and see whether my view about QCOM as an investment prevails.

Perhaps you are witnessing none other than the honorable defense of an unpopular opinion. Or maybe the ravings of a lunatic. Raw courage and insanity are indistinguishable except in retrospect. Time will tell.

Meanwhile, perhaps you find my behavior "very suspicious". Well, rest assured that further satisfying your curiosity is not something I feel inclined to do.

What's in it for me? <ggg>
