Ribman - regarding "thanks where thanks is due..." Then you can email a note of thanks to Gregg, Dr. J, etc.... Dr. J is certainly on this family's 1999 Christmas card list! (We might skip the fruitcake, though...) If things with Q keep up anything like they have up to now, the postmark on it will be from St. Maarten or thereabouts! Actually, I'm pretty new to SI, so Gregg isn't directly responsible for me owning Q (though I'm certainly benefitting from the education all of you apparently received from him over the last few years - and my most gracious thanks to everyone for the sage advice, perspective, knowledge and humor to be found here). I first bought QCOM in 1997 when it showed up in (of all places) the little four-page newsletter that Fidelity sends to all of its customers with their monthly statements. It was included there as one of about forty or so stocks in the "Fair Value Portfolio" that's compiled by Standard and Poor's. ("Fair Value" - the understatement of the century, it turns out - I think they recommended it at $45 with a target of $75.). I researched it a bit, liked what I saw, and have held it ever since...and though I'm not yet a Quillionaire, just as of today I have doubled the value of my portfolio on 1/1/99. (OT, wonder if S&P is now kicking themselves for not adding Q when Airtouch left? They would have gotten a good lift to the index today - probably a great deal better than whatever Vulcan Materials or whoever else they added got them.) (OTOT, we have now officially left Q3 1999...our fates are all in the hands of the QCOM bean counting department now. Pray their pencils are sharp and their calculators fully charged. <g>) Q4 4Q yours, -Rose-
