<Well it looks like the train went down the river with you in it. Most companies are guiding lower sales and earnings. Now whats your opinion about trailing p/e's??> Your really to much. This from the guy how bought QCOM at 192. If I'm on the train down the river then you must be up sh*t creek without a paddle. Did you use your beloved trailing p/e analysis to buy QCOM at nose bleed levels? Once again, I'm not on margin and I'm not selling so I don't really care what QCOM is doing in the short-term. I'm also not hoping and wishing QCOM can climb back to 192 so I can get out at breakeven. Finally, I don't care what the trailing p/e is on QCOM or any other stock. Trailing p/e's have nothing to do with the present or future price of a stock. It's forward p/e's based on future growth rates that matter. If you would open up your mind, you might learn something from the people here.
