but skeeter...it seems apparent, you're not enamored with QCOM. Why not just take your 100% long/80% portfolio invested back to the den and quit pestering folks on this thread? <G>

Did you ever think that if you are the only one on this thread, among many more intelligent people than you, who believes that your T-Bill analysis is correct, that you might be wrong? Looking at compounding interest on the huge number you used is NOT the way to compare returns. Instead, imagine an investor puts $1,000 (or whatever) into a TBill and $1,000 into QCOM. Assume QCOM grows 30-50% per year. Calculate out ten years, and apply an appropriate multiple to QCOM. The value of the QCOM shares originally purchased for $1,000 will be obscenely higher than the value of the T-Bill, plus the accrued and/or reinvested (after taxes especially) interest payments on the T-bill. It's obvious to all but you.
