To Thread, Does anyone have any idea why QCOM is red while other NASDAQ leaders are green? Sorry to read all the post on yesterday's results. It's seems most of us got hurt but we have the health, will and guidance from knowledgeable people to come back. Good luck to all Thank You JK

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, if memory serves, I recall...or think I recall...that EXACTLY the same time frame (first week or so)in April of last year the Wall Street pros dropped the Nasdaq 250-300 points over a five day period to subsequently rebound like a rocket the rest of the month. Considering the Naz was in the mid to high 2000 range, the percentage drop would have been close to equivalent to this years would it not? Also, the DOW went up at the same time the Naz was tanking. I think.
