Jill, Holding QCOM would make me a lot more nervous than Nokia or NT in wireless stocks. I am keeping NT and NOK as my largest holdings. There does not appear to be any negativity associated with these stocks, especially NT. With NT you also get the dominant optical player. I have been buying leaps but I am sticking to mostly NT with some NOKIA. A little lower in QCOM and I might take a chance with it although this type of stock does not usually fit in with my investment strategy. I prefer the companies (stock and options)that blow out earning almost every time. Right now NT and NOK appears to be the only large caps that I would buy long term options on---or take a chance with margin. JMHO.

Thanks Jill... I really enjoy this thread you and Poet host. Although I've been a member of SI for a really long time, I took a hiatus for a couple of years, when the anonymous bashing and critiquing got to be a wee bit much . It's nice to have a place to go to learn - and to share a few things without being whipped or harangued. I liked what Mark Z said - that we are all constantly learning - and I appreciate those that are so willing to share their hard won knowledge. There are some really fantastic folks that post here.
