As far as the P/E, its from YAHOO financials, if you have a problem with their inaccurate reporting, take it up with them. As far as gloating, sorry Charlie, I didn't start the name calling, who was it that called me a moron and prompted me into being defensive? quote.yahoo.com

QCOM's pro forma EPS for this FY is around $1.29. With the introduction of 3G services this year in Japan, the introduction of CDMA networks in China & India, the evolution of GSM to WCDMA and or CDMA2000 this year presents a great long term scenario for QCOM. Compare this to companies like BRCMD or CSCO whose EPS projections are falling as fast as their stock prices. Given the glut of capacity for fiber optic companies, the future for the networking stocks does not seem so bright. QCOM stands out with a great business plans and a relentless R & D effort which is hell bent on making CDMA a global standard, QCOM's business prospects could not be better. When you consider the fact that the CDMA market base will grow 10 fold in the next five year's, I feel great about the visibility.
