Rose--Good point from you and Janitor. Q mgt did the things which
shiuld have boosted their stock price.
1) announced gangbuster earnings om Monday
2) reinforced w/ formal confirmation of Sprint order Tue
Per the Janitor, the NASDQ just didn't co-operate with their strategy
on Tue.
3) also, I am sure that the institutions sensed the play on mgt's part
and redoubled their effort to push the price downward.

Well, the game isn't over yet. The stock hasn't been sold & tomorrow hasn't played out & we haven't been told what Q hopes to do with this money. I suppose the sale could be delayed a week until the smoke clears.

The best thing is to reserve judgement uptill all the details fall in place. I was one of the 1st to be upset when the offering of 4MM shares was announced---but decided at that time that I really couldn't see enough of the plan to make any intelligent final judgement. The situation is still the same--just more perplexing.

To Board and redundant posters,
I have been following and posting to this board for over 2 years. I appreciate the information, jokes, and analysis. However, please don't be redundant with your posts and please quit trying to convince everyone to think your way.
For instance, this argument about management is insane. Not one of us longs would sleep tonight if Dr. J. announced his retirement tonight. That would be a real bomb. That would be terrible news.
Please use private messages for your rants. It is a waste of time to have to reread the same arguments time after time. I know short term swings concern margin account holders and option holders. I appreciate your concerns about short term matters, but the last few days have gotten away from and destroy the value of this board. Please don't repeat the same theme over and over. We get it the first time. Do give updates of news and analysis of information and jokes. I appreciate them. Enjoy life and qcom, you don't get many rides like this during your life.
Just one mans opinion. Again thanks to all for wonderful information, analysis and good jokes.
Robert D.
