Hi Tech: As patient as I am, this "Q* wait" period is awful frustrating. NOK is now being pressured......hope this will accelerate a large CDMA deal. Anyone have thoughts about JNPR.....can't seem to find an entry point.

If you look at QCOM's past stock price behavior there often have been significant declines about 3-4 weeks ahead of each earnings report. I truly think that there have been deliberate efforts by brokerages to manipulate the stock by issuing downbeat forecasts, which enables them to accumulate shares at cheap prices. They then dump the shares into the price spike that almost invariably comes either shortly before or after the earnings announcement. The April earnings report was somewhat anomalous as the overall market climate was very negative, which resulted in the dump starting sooner than usual (The price max then occurred about a week ahead of earnings.) I think this same type of manipulation is happening now, and wouldn't be surprised to see a 20-25% upswing in the price between now and ~July 19th.
