Taxes are outrageous. Why the sheep continue to let themselves be shorn is beyond me. Maybe Maurice can answer this one. But Greenspan trimmed about $600k of my wealth today just by flapping his jaw. Morgan

I believe Thornley will be gone within 6 months. The Board has really gotta be pissed. CFOs are prime targets when things like this go wrong. Morgan

OTOTOT To SpudFarmer: Your comments are so refreshing that I wonder if it is the fresh air you get growing those spuds or what. Re: Greenspan and inflation. There is no inflation. Sadly there is a Greenspan with diarrhea of the mouth. Now there are two ways to look at his generally unintelligible remarks. 1. They are dangerous and wrong. 2. Words are better than wrong acts. A wrong act would be raising interest rates against a phantom - again there is no inflation by any measure whatsoever. But perhaps he will be satisfied with words which are just a temporary downer - just briefly harmful not a long term negative. Isn't it fun to talk about something other than the nonsense about how the Q mismanaged its stock sale. Suggest we give the Q management credit for enhancing Qualcomm's future and therefor building value for us as shareholders and Greenspan discredit for putting his personal ego ahead of us as taxpayers and stockholders. Remember Greenspan seems to care about his reappointment as Chairman of the Fed. That is why he is posturing now IMO. What else? Who knows? Cheers all. Chaz

"I just wish that everyone would get as upset about taxes. Their influence is 10X greater than Greenspans words." Agree with you 100% about taxes. But the answer to forcing lower tax rates in at our fingertips. Have you wondered why the States and Cities are so worried about taxing the Internet. They are beginning to catch on the the Web can be the "disruptive technology" of the tax system. the only way to stop this is reduce and simplify taxes to remove the incentive to avoid.
