jmac...couple things...thanks for your thoughts. I was not talking about writing cc's against leaps. Iwas thinking of simply selling a few of my 02 200's and rolling the $$'s into maybe the 120's. Just trying to figure out if I should just buy the 120's and keep the 200's or sell the 200's so I can get more 120's..... Lastly, you mentioned everybody running around being nervous. Maybe some people....maybe most people, but certainly not everybody. I am not only not nervous, I am rather excited about the tremendous buying opportunity we have right now and may continue to have for a short while. I am simply trying to figure out the best way for me to maximize this gift we are being given. I think the story on qcom is just beginning. I agree with the COO that we are in the 3rd inning of a nine inning game. Things are just getting heated up. If the story changes on Q, then maybe I change my tune as well, but I will not get down on the Q just because we are experiencing a very normal and healthy correction. I remember every correction for the past few eyars like it was yesterday. This past one, I remember everybody crying on CMGI thread because it got whacked so bad. Man, people were unloading at $80 ( $40 post split ). Me, I was buying, and a few months later when the stock hit $300 ( 150 post split ) how did those folks that sold at $80 feel ? Anyway, I have no worries about Q for the long haul so I will sit and enjoy the ride. If they drop it more, I will simply take advantage of the sale price and load em up. have a great weekend

Jmac and all, I wrote a similar message on the "Buy" thread and got absolutely no response. In short it is this: Most newbies buying the Q stock have no idea what they bought. They do not know what CDMA is, they have no idea what Omnitracs is, they have no idea about HDR or any of the other product or patents of Qcom. They just hear about the stock rocketing and want in. They have no idea or thoughts of Q's future. The stock then starts to drop and they say: "see I told you, if you want a stock to drop just tell me to buy it". What the Q needs to do is low level P.R. with SIMPLE T.V. commercials that explain the Q to the masses. They can use someone that people like and trust.....say, Tom Hanks or Dennis Miller(in a serious mood). The commercial about being conceived on my T.V. screen was way over anybody's head that didn't already know about the Q. You also had to be able to read fast. Down deep people want to know what they have invested in, and to tell you the truth most did not. People who truly know the Q story are not selling now they are cussing the houses for scaring off the new uninformed investors. Hell most analysts don't really know about the Q. When I first saw a Gateway commercial and how they would build and take care of your computer I told my wife thats a good company we should invest. Think about it the masses don't have a clue or as Voltaire would say there is Ambiguity. Just a thought. JA
