This is one of those situations where, when the FA and the TA don't agree, go with the TA. It isn't the little guys like you and me that are moving QCOM, it is the big boys. And they appear to know something that isn't obvious at first glance. QCOM is breaking serious support here...I think that QCOM's story is less solid than they would hope us to believe. Either that, or the evil short selling market makers are driving the price down so that they can get a better entry price for the next run to $200.

There may not be any secrets with regard to QCOM, however there is definitely misunderstanding. The street was a non-believer prior to March of last year, then became BIG believers, and once again are non-believers. So what do they really know, usually technologically not much. The proof for this one will be in the pudding. Apple may have had the best operating system but it didn't possess a factored difference. A PC with dos did the same calculations, word processing etc as APPLE only held an advantage truly in graphics and user friendliness. But, these were not protected advantages. MSFT was able to eliminate this gap. QCOM has protected advantages and the advantages are not merely slight they're in fact huge. The consumer will demand speed for 3g and those offering CDMA will get the consumers. Not religious, just technologically understanding. Jim
