Au contraire, mon ing‚nieur. Exactly the opposite is demonstrated by QCOM's time series of closing prices. The biggest one day drop ever taken by QCOM is today's 16%. On only 3 days since it went public has QCOM closed more than 15% down from the day before: 26-Jan-00, 16-Apr-96, and 6-Feb-98. By contrast, the biggest one day rise is more than twice the size of the biggest one day drop: 39% on 21-Apr-99. QCOM has closed up by 30% as often as it has closed down by 15%. Up on 3 occasions: 21-Apr-99, 29-Dec-99, and 30-Sep-92. QCOM has closed up by 15% more than 3 X as often as it has closed down by 15%: up more than 15% on 10 days since it opened. So the market performance shows that it is "2 to 3 times" easier to get people to invest in QCOM than it is to scare them out of it! engineer wrote: It is far more easy to scare someone into selling fast so that they do not "loose" what they have than it is to get someone to invest in a future in which they can make alot.
