4:1 split will slow the dilution of QCOM stock every single stock option compensation package I am aware of involves a fixed share benefit... for instance, I receive 1000 shares annually in an option package... when we split 2:1, subsequent option packages still have been granted at 1000 shares... for that reason, employees despise the reduced size of packages, yet relish the appreciation in the stock that prompts such splits the end result is that relatively fewer shares eventually are exercised, whether via sales or conversion to shares... the resulting additional number of shares slows down... wish QCOM split 4:1 back in the spring just watching for now, Uncle Franqie (welcher) shouldnt conclude prematurely on something that is in progress right now... its strength is surprising, buffeted by the techs in breakout mode generally and bonds which are still rallying... just got my JapCandleshit book in mail last night and reading chapter on "Resumption Patterns" that includes gaps... I need to hold back from stating claims with JapCandles since this 3D technique requires time for me to learn... but I am a quick study meanwhile, after that string of on-the-GD-mark TA calls, I have a "gap" I would like to share with my adversary Molloy... since my vacation, I feel far more serene and above the fray as for advances, the MightyQ continues to hold... I do expect some profitaking in the next week or two... the Fed meets another FOMC in 12 days, which might prompt fretful responses and if I ever perchance meet you, Poet, you better run I will advance upon you !!! / Jim
