Explanation of "gap" "voodoo talk." If you drew a tick by tick chart of QCOM trades -- you'd see that between 4:00 P.M. Monday and early in the day on Tuesday (and also -- the rest of recorded history) ... the stock NEVER ever traded between 161 3/16 and (I think it was) 162 5/8.

(161 3/16 was the all time high as of Monday's close).

(162 5/8 was the opening on Tuesday, and the low for the day on Tuesday for a while).

That is a gap.

A few hours later, QCOM fell to 161, eliminating the gap, and keeping some people happy that now, it could resume its ascent.

Jon.
