Michael, the point I was making was that even a staid old brokerage firm was beginning to find QCOM attractive. It will take some time before that firm and others like it will really be enthusiastic about QCOM. As for me, it's the patents that are impressive assets for long term appreciation. On top of that, it now appears that CDMA in both wired and wireless applications is the technology of choice, from both a practical and theoretical point of view.
