>"Be careful"...LOL I can short a stock for any reason I want. I don't like any company that treats temp workers the way QCOM does.< Yes, you can. By all means, do. I'm not trying to tell you what to do. Just friendly advise. As for how they treat temps, I guess that is a matter of opinion too. But hardly a reason to short a stock. I know an individual who called Q a "software sweatshop" about 2 years ago. He was mad that he wasn't hired. If he had bought Q stock, he'd be retired by now. If he had shorted it, well, you know. >PBS aired a program yesterday on national television in which a QCOM representative admitted that on at least one occasion hundreds of temps were called to a meeting and then told they were all going to be processed out immediately and they were!< If that is the same program I saw about a year ago, it is old news. A real tear jerker. I've been a temp many times, and I also know that every day is uncertain. To expect anything else is unrealistic, and in the least, denial of reality. To harbor resentment and ill feelings is a personal axe to grind, not Q's. It is a difference of opinion. To which I will spare the thread any more comments. I appreciate your point of view, and hope all works out. It is "what makes the market".

<<<PBS aired a program yesterday on national television in which a QCOM representative admitted that on at least one occasion hundreds of temps were called to a meeting and then told they were all going to be processed out immediately and they were!>>> Oh my God!, temps being dismissed! BTW, What does temp mean?
