Thanks. Hope to make a contribution since I've received so much from these threads; reciprocity underlies enduring relationships. I see from your recent Porch post, your bullish on the coming week. Assume that means: . . . . STORM WARNING... BATTEN ALL HATCHES! . . . <ggg> Sorry, I couldn't resist. BTW, I haven't forgotten about the fish. lurking... lurqer

Frank, Thanks for pasting lurqer's post here. Somehow I'd missed it and I really like what he said. The subject of money is very emotionally "loaded", like sex, politics, and religion, and might be a great weekend topic here at some point, if the thread wanted to talk about it. For now, I'll make two brief points: 1. "All I could want" changes as money is made, for some the amount keeps climbing, an unattainable goal. For others, money becomes less significant as their own needs are met, and it develops other meaning. 2. There are a number of people on this thread (and across SI) who contribute a portion of their profits, on an ongoing basis, to help assuage the suffering of others. This is done privately, so one would find little mention of it here. I think what matters, in the end, is not the amount of money one makes, but the amount of money one shares.

That's so true. Especially if you travel to third world countries as I occasionally have. Not only is charity a good thing, but actively helping out--going to those places, volunteering for Doctors without Borders for instance, or a relief organization...especially for those who've retired, to take a few weeks out of their life and "live" the helping of others. There is no reason not to enjoy $, or the making of $ as many here do, but hopefully the resulting freedom that is bought gives one time to help others. I really liked lurqer's post too.

Uncle Frank, kindly respect our thread charter and reserve your discussion outside the realm of options for appropriate venues. If you take the time to read our thread header and our thread history you will find that we are focused on options investing. If this is not your area of interest, there is no shortage of boards devoted Qualcomm where discussion of it will be appreciated. Prosperous investing, LoF P. S.
