Condor Don't forget little details like that! You can't see it. You can't read it. You can't intercept it. Even the NSA [National Security Agency] can't touch it [unless Qualcomm agrees to let them]. If it's your money, your music, your movie, your ideas, it is yours alone to disclose, give, or sell to other people. Superencrypted abstract stuff which is weirdly the highest value stuff. Much more so than land, horses, cars, houses and rockets, even though our materialistic lives lead us to think in terms of shiny baubles. This is the big one, which will link to WirelessKnowledge and Eudora. <Re : And that's before you even look at Qualcomm's other businesses: a CDMA chip-making operation that controls more than 90 percent of the market; a maker of mobile handsets; and truck-monitoring service called OmniTRACS. Interesting that this "glowing" article on Qualcomm still managed to leave out several things : Eudora, Globalstar, and WirelessKnowledge. Maybe the worry is that people won't believe the news if it is too good.> The news is very, very, very good. The sky is not the limit. Condor lives in the building next to the new head office, which is on the corner of Mira Mesa and Lusk. The old HQ! on Lusk Boulevard will be Ericy's infrastructure base with Ake Persson holding the reins. The new one isn't such a fun looking building, but I suppose that's okay. Appropriate for it to look more like Fort Knox to hold the gold [which, to make a short story longer, is dropping in value as people realize that real value in the modern world is in The New Paradigm and Condor is the zenith of that - if zenith isn't a bad choice of word, thinking of Globalstar]. Mqurice [Tempted to short Iridium, which amazingly reached $13 per share while bondholders value their stake in it at some pittance. I've never shorted a stock so don't know how, but this one seems ideal. I bet there aren't any shares available though. Also, pleased to see Lucius Lamar point out that people shorting Qualcomm is an indicator that the price will RISE, since those shares have already been sold and adds buying pressure to the 'more buyers than sellers' equation. It always seems weird to despise short sellers, as though they do anything bad to the company or other shareholders. If anything, they add to the profits of those who REALLY understand the company. All those short sellers have to BUY Qualcomm at some stage. They are welcome to my stock, but they will get a fright if mine is the only stock available.]
