<QCOM vs Au - what goes up, must come down,>
DJ, while that's a popular cliche and a generally true slogan, my favourite slogan is "Don't let a slogan do your thinking for you".
There isn't a law of nature which says what goes up must come down. Sometimes, such as brainpower of humans, it has gone up and up and up with no end in sight and not only that, it's getting a turbo charge from cyberspace and not only that, it's going to separate entirely from us into It's own sentient supersonic smartness. Another example would be the inflationary universe, which has been going up, up, up for 10 billion years [though how they measured a year beats me, when there was no sun, or earth, and gravitational fields were black-hole strong which must have had some influence on the speed of light in a sub quantum de-planck-lengthed wind tunnel and the vibrational habits of serium atoms and even gold's half life]. Another example would be Marlon Brando's body mass index. Warren Buffett's wealth.
The trick is to know which will go up, up, up and never come down, and which are more like Globalstar, which don't even get up, in the case of the Zenit launch in 1998, which caused a LOT more to come down too.
