Mike: What's up with QCOM ? It seems out of control. Looks like CC and BBY are ripe shorts. What do you think ?

Mike: Ah yes, CPI just as the doctor ordered & a good thing too. My prediction on short term rates: If market sells off to the FEDs meeting, then Alan does not raise rates but changes to a tightening bias (ie they stand vigilant in case the horse comes back to the barn) If market moves up or stabilizes, FED tightens. Ligand presents a good opportunity here. (imo) Of course one of these years it would be nice to see some revenue other than research agreements to indicate they are making progress towards profitability. (I guess same could be said about gztr which is slowly making its journey through climbing revenues. Maybe they should do the knee surgery over the web, we could have a virtual healing to go with a virtual stock price then <g>) I am trying to put (longer term) the online brokerages, I figure competition is getting ugly, trading volumes(source of revenue growth is drying up) and they still need infrastructure development. What do you think and are their other puts you are looking at now? (already have some cmb, c and pvn for financials) thanks
