And, a further note regarding being a wild and crazy speculating kind of guy.

Two days ago, I was checking my "cash available" and "buying power" at the securities firm (which shall remain un-named here) where I have my margined Qualcomm position, and the numbers seemed wrong.

On further probing, I discovered that my firm had lumped Qualcomm with stuff like AMZN and YHOO (!)

Even they (immediately) agreed that this was ridiculous; and said they would fix up the margin requirement stuff for my account before the next morning (which, they did).

In case any big (margined) Qualcomm shareholder is planning on doing a massive trade (on a moment's notice), you might want to have a friendly chat with your friendly margin clerk at least a day before you try to do the trade.

Jon.
