First my prediction:
In the event of a >10% correction (some people call a Bear market)
Qualcomm may trade as low as 30.
Otherwise, Qualcomm may go as low as 35 for natural causes outlined below.
(At either point, I would be a buyer because long term they will succeed)

Asia contagion has eventually going to catch up with Qualcomm and Jubak's recent cut is not really a suprise. It was Qualcomm's strategy to sell CDMA to emerging countries because there was less infrastructure to deal with and therefore it was a "clean slate" to sell these countries new equipment. Clearly, it is more difficult to sell new technology that fits over old technoloyg because of incapatabilities.

As a result of this strategy, Qualcomm is counting on the Asian countries. Problem is Asia is rioting, fighting, and entering (in?) a deflationary/recessionary period. Japan is propping up the Yen; Malaysians are rioting;etc.. Call it bad timing or politics but the Qualcomm ship is committed to a course that a simple "tack" will not correct.
