Hi Greg, I thought I made it clear in my post that these are risk benchmarks that I use, and the choice of the appropriate discount rate for the risk premium is subjective. The 6.5% base, however, should be universal. I used to work for a venture capital company who used a flat 30% risk premium for everything it touched. Because my opinion was published on this thread without my prior consent, and since it is decidedly at odds with yesterday's published sell-side analysis, I thought I'd spell out my methods in detail. I have no position in QCOM (short or long), and have no axe to grind. I am simply pointing out that there are many solid growth companies whose prices seem to bear no relationship to their fundamentals as I see them. I wish you all well. CTC
