((((KG)))) geesh,chill out hon! I hold Qcom too and aint gonna worry about it. Ask your self this: Have fundamentals changed? Is Qcom fixin to go out of business anytime soon? Has the management changed? Has the philosophy changed? Where do you think it will be a year from now....5 years from now? Now get up...get out...go commit some random acts of kindness. :-) All is well, the end of the world is not here. Stop watchin so much and you'll stop worryin so much. Here is another cyberhuggie to calm yore lil ole heart.((((KG)))))). Take care and take it easy, Depy

Hi KG4 I've been reading your heartfelt post over and over again. You've written my story as well - just substitute Jdsu for Qcom. I constantly say to myself, sell on the next rally, but then I don't because I believe in both J and Q and I keep thinking that they just need time to catch up with themselves and they'll be fine and I'll be fine and hell, we'll all be fine again. In my heart of heart I know that fibre optics and wireless will pave the way in the future and that these two companies are the leaders in their fields. Nothing has changed since I first invested in them and that's why I hang on. I do other stupid things though. Like buy ELON at 52 and don't sell it a few days later at 69. I still get greedy. But what I don't understand, for lack of sophistication I suppose, is why is it bad for there to be low unemployment; for people to be prospering and secure in their lives and future. Isn't this what we are supposed to be striving for our society? Isn't this what we elect our governments for - to provide an environment where we can work hard, be reimbursed fairly and adequately for our efforts and be able to take care of ourselves and ours without looking for welfare, etc. Why in God's name do "they" say, people aren't afraid enough? What's so damn good about been afraid. Why do "they" want capitulation? Why is it better to have foreclosure, unemployment, financial worries? I've posed the question before. But, I'm merely an unsophisticated small time retail investor trying to retire gracefully. Not an economist, not a banker, not an astute statistician, nor a savy investor. Maybe they know. As far as liquidating, at this point for me, it's too late. IMHO Rose

You could sell some now and buy back lower...who knows...we're headed into a fed-induced recession/bear market. Q is particularly vulnerable because even now presplit it would be about 356...that's obviously nowhere near 800, but still a big increase for one year, where it had already split 2-1, so maybe its still overvalued. If you could keep trading volatility via cc it might be worth holding on.

Hey KG4, I understand your frustration You need strength and fortitude. Don't play with QCOM. That's only my opinion. Chill, relax, and, if need be, take a vacation. I'm still planning to go to Cuba on June 3 to assist in Qualcomm's "spiritual recovery." Qualcomm rocks whenever I set foot on that lovely and glorious island. In case you need a peptalk to assist your development of inner strength to ride out this horrible period of time for that phenomenal company known as Qualcomm Inc., just click on this ragingbull post: ragingbull.com Now don't you feel better?
