Thanks, Randall. Q has every bit the potential that aol does. The comparison is appropriate. I said yesterday that at ~1000, Q is still less than aol.

I agree with you about AOL vs. Q. BUT... we know there is a continuing demand for AOL services as a new media company. How do we know there will be a demand for what QCOM provides, "the Internet on a cel phone or a portable computing device" What if the masses prefer just to hook up to AOL and look at the Net on a 21 inch monitor with a cable connection. What if QCOM and its licensees build it, and no one comes?
How do we know there is really great demand out there? This is my only worry about QCOM. (I own both AOL and Qcom)
thanks
all the best

Poor comparison.

You need to look at net earnings, not earnings per share if you are to make your comparison (which is apples to oranges anyway.) Q and AOL have a very different amount of shares outstanding.

Back to the drawing board.
