"Better yet, maybe it is time for the cheerleaders to take off their rose colored gasses and see QCOM for what it really is today."

This strikes me as an unfair statement. I'm not sure I see a benefit in characterizing all favorable comments as cheerleading any more than characterizing all critical comments as incessant whining. The point of the board is to exchange opinion in a reasonably civil tone, in a tone which promotes further discussion.

I don't think that Jim's suggestion that those who see a dim future for the company might want to lighten up a bit on their holdings was meant to discourage discussion or denigrate discussants, but rather only as a logical choice for any holder of any stock. And it is completely reasonable to discuss whether a change in management would benefit the company. Our purpose here is only to share information and opinions. To think that we have an effect on stock price, management decisions, or possible changes in management is complete vanity.

It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that I was being reprimanded for taking a swing at a fellow poster over something or other. Now I sound like I'm positioning myself as a reasonable peacemaker. It is more fun to be involved in the food fights.
