"Just remember folks, in the near term the market doesn't give a damn about how great QCOM is positioned or how many 1x handsets we are supposed to be selling in 2001. " This is true. It would appear that we have been in the "sell any rise" mentality. Out at any cost, to the dogs with fundamentals. It would appear that you believe that the "glory days" are all but done. Can we have a few small victories before we close the book? ericy seems to be following Q's lead? Are they too going to become "just a company full of patent lawyers"? Put Q chips in a mot phone, and it becomes the mot phone. Put Q chips in a ericy phone, and it becomes the ericy phone. Put Q chips in a nok phone, and it melts down. Now we know why they won't buy the chips. Become a Q chip my friend. Hi-Karate! Q rocks, just a matter of time, and water in the glass half full and half empty...

Some people were betting on near term prospects. :) From TSCM: While people making bullish wagers on Ericsson were depressed, those who made similar bets this week on Qualcomm (QCOM:Nasdaq - news) ahead of its earnings report Thursday were grinning Friday. Investors were pleased that the wireless communications company beat Wall Street's earnings expectation, even though its sales were lower than anticipated. But perhaps more importantly, the company noted that it was comfortable with analysts' estimates for the current quarter and year. Shares of San Diego-based Qualcomm surged $4.75, or 6.4% to $78.69 Friday. Earlier this week, some market participants said that there was a considerable amount of call buying in Qualcomm options. Among the options traders hungered for were the March 100 calls and the February 75 calls. Friday morning the March 100 calls were trading up 3/8 ($37.50) to 2 1/8 ($212.50) on the Pacific Exchange, while the February 75 calls were up 1 7/8 ($187.50) to 7 3/8 ($737.50), also on the P-Coast.
