I don't think you understand what margin is. I wrote that if a person owns qcom on margin, he/she should get out of the margin asap because not only his equity be wiped out, there will be more to pay. If you own a stock not on margin, the most a person can lose is the the equity. Example: Stock is at $ 100, bought on margin, let just say 50%. This means broker lends you $ 50, and you put $ 50. Stock goes down to $ 30 (of course there will be margin call before it hits that number), you lose everything and still owes the broker an additional $ 20. To me Qcom is an investment even though I have loved ones who happily work there. So, my decision is how the stock will perform. However if you are in love with QCOM as a stock, you are right, the rest of my post is not worth reading.
