>> maybe QCOM ain't the gorilla everything think it is

Maybe, mike. But short term price movement doesn't confirm or deny Gorillahood. If so, you could have pronounced Cisco a Chimp last October when it lost 40% of its market cap. In that case, as in this, the Fear portion of the equation won out, but only briefly.

As Gorilla gamers, we should measure Q on the velocity of its Tornado (cdma adoption rate), the strength of its ipr, and its quarterly reports. Momentum isn't a metric in gg evaluations.

Prosperous investing,
Frank

To all: That's a good point that bears serious discussion once the smoke clears. Has this thread embraced a philosophy or not? Do investors feel confident of the fundamentals--if not, why not? If so, why sell? Lindy, in spite of your contention that you're simply timing a downdraft, in the context of all your previous posts, this confuses a thread that you have been cheerleading--I'd suggest, gently, that you need to take more care in announcing such a reversal. You've probably stunned and scared some threadsters. I havne't made any moves today. Maybe I will, maybe not. If there's something you know that we don't, please share it. Thanx.

you may not have detected any chinks in the armor,,,but the selling has been relentless

That's an indication that QCOM isn't a gorilla? C'mon folks. Focus, focus, focus. The amount of buying and selling of a stock is not the criterion of gorillas.

And oh by the way, if you consider that QCOM's high in round numbers is $200, it still hasn't fallen nearly as much as Cisco is prone to do.
