Sorry techguerilla, but anyone using credit cards, second mortgages or excessive margin shouldn't be referred to as investors. They are gamblers. It's not marketing they lack, it's a 12 step program.

If anyone here "A) margin B) options C) credit cards D) second martgages E) all of the above " they learned a lesson in investing. One that many of us have learned. My moniker MarginMIKE is a sarcastic description of someone who uses Margin generously. I use NO margin

techguerilla ---this was brought up in the January conference call about the sale of the handset division to Kyocera . QCOM said they had not really discuss this with Kyocera but if they wanted too they could use the QCOM name . They should have worked out the QCOM inside just like INTEL has done . PR is about 50 % of a stock price ---the rest is earnings and growth BEST WISHES BILL By the way have you noticed how KYO stock price has stayed the same since the buyout of the handset division ? If sales were going to be down you would think that it would effect their bottom line also ?

Tech - The worst thing about what you are doing is that you could very likely be forced to sell at the lows. The vast majority of these 'bubble techs' have parabolic stock charts at times, and you really have to watch it if you want to stay in the game. If you look back to the last semi implosion in 1996, stocks like LSI Logic went from 60 to 12. The fact that LSI then went back to 90 and split would not have helped if one was on margin and had to sell out. You could also have bought AMAT for 13 bucks a share split adjusted. Same with Micron, from 95 to 17, and back up. Live and learn. Regards, John
