rushnomore: Your point is well taken. The fundamentals drive the company's stock price. And until I read Geof Moore's latest book, I left it at that.

However, what Geof has to say is very interesting.

And he makes clear that concentrating on the "core" is the key to shareholder value and stock price over time. And the sale of the infrastructure and phone handset businesses are right in line with his thinking. Qualcomm's management did more than "outsource" in those moves, Dr J advanced key objectives in deepening and broadening CDMA (and therefore the Q's value chain).

But on reading the book, it does seem that perhaps the idea of taking all the FUD blows from competitors and their allies in the media (who seem to be legion) and just quietly going ahead on the fundamentals, while absolutely necessary, may not be sufficient.

Food for thought.

Best.

Stock price is an indicator of shareholder value.

Perhaps ... but that doesn't necessarily mean checking the meter every five minutes. Good company management will increase stockholder value over the long term, not minute to minute or even month to month -- there are just too many variables in the market for management to try to control that.
