Now that was a record post for you Jon... Beware you guys, JON IS PISSED! Don't mess with him. FWIW, I like wacko options strategies best. Satellite Surfer

"I think you people are really douchebags for spending SO much time on "trading ranges," "entry points," etc." ROTF! Thanks, Jon

Jon: I think you people are really douchebags for spending SO much time on "trading ranges," "entry points," etc. These kinds of posts are the reason I rarely bookmark stock threads...time to remove my bookmark again of this one. Anyone that bought into the mind meld at 100 or above (split adjusted) and is still holding, probably wishes he or she had practiced a little entry/exit timing. For anyone that bought in early last year, well they may not have gone under water, but they could be sitting on a much larger stack had they practiced a little entry/exit timing...just getting close would have worked.

Why so pessimistic Jon? Change the world? That's what the steam engine, aircraft, telephones and television did. You and Rick seem to be wallowing in doomsday scenarios. Rick talking about Q! and $200 in the same sentence. You limiting Q! to changing the world. QUALCOMM is going to be the ringleader in the biggest change since DNA molecules started getting their knickers in a twist a billion years or so ago. There have been several phases on this planet: A spinoff of earth into a molten ball A cooling to water, rocks and gases Carbon spinning up into DNA DNA arguing over who would get the world's resources Chimplike creatures growing their own and taking it all Chimplikes inventing talking and writing, woodwork and stuff ChimpLs replacing their muscles with the industrial revolution and inventing a billion 3D manipulative tools. CLs then getting a communications IT revolution CLs wondering what the hell IT was coming to CLs using It[TM] instead of their brain CLs being told what It wanted QUALCOMM is creating [with a bit of help from JDSU, SDLI and all that crowd] nothing less than a new life-form on this planet. Symbiotic with [for a while] but superseding the human form. A bit like some of us are not so CL anymore, even though we came out of the same DNA crucible and close inspection of our forearms discloses suspicious natural insulation. Some reproductive rituals seem quite CL too. What we are seeing is something bigger and qualitatively different from all of DNA history combined. It is NOT for our benefit, anymore than we are to benefit chimps and other antecedents of ours. In the process, Q! won't take its place alongside Cisco and those other bit players. Q! will be Above and Beyond. Let's have a bit of optimism around here instead of the "$50 to $70" trading range and the puny "change the world" stuff. This is BIG!! Everyone should GET REAL!! You can't see the forest for the trees [to coin a phrase]. I have no idea why you would be looking for forests or trees. This is no jungle stuff. Q! is the crucible for It just as chimps were the crucible for you and me [well, not me, but lots of you people on this thread]. Mqurice

re: "I think you people are really douchebags " Thank you for your polite and informative response. I'm sure you know how much you've contributed to helping us in our investment decisions. Keep up the good work. I especially appreciate all the facts and logic you bring to the discussion. It may not make much difference to you whether your average cost basis is 10 or 100, but it makes a great deal of difference to me. And that is true, even if (especially if) the stock will eventually go to 500. JS@thedevilisinthedetails.com
