gd, Ah, that's not important, but what is important is the the mighty Q is poking it's head above 165 (overhead resistance). The weak hands have all sold around 165 or so after that scary gap down yesterday, they have been dealt with, now we go higher! <gg> MileHigh 166 RT

Gdichaz: Regarding Q contracting with contract manufacturer to produce handsets, some friends of mine who live here in San Diego and work at the Q first mentioned to me about 4-5 weeks ago that the company was very interested in having an outside contractor take over the handset production with Q continuing to design and develop innovative handsets. These friends know that I have owned Q since the IPO and am very heavily weighted in it in my portfolio. While they have been good sources of information in the past, I didn't post their insights since there was no substantiation or further details. With the Q announcement this morning, I am putting further weight on their insights, and suspect that this is the direction Dr. Jacobs et al. will take the company. Personally, I concur with your analysis and prefer this approach to an outright sale of the handset division. Time will tell; certainly by this time tomorrow! I continue to be happy with Q's fundamentals and solid management. Enjoy the rollercoaster. BriHack
