I see nothing in Qualcomm's financial results to indicate that they are anything other than a niche technology player. You serious believe that or are you joking? Isn't the world moving to CDMA? Niche??????????? Come on PUCK... Texas Instruments is a hell of a lot more important to Nokia as a supplier than Qualcomm ever will be. Nok doesn't make working cdma handsets now do they, why would q be a major supplier now? As for "will ever be" you better hope that isn't true. Qualcomm doesn't even do the service to their shareholders of paying a dividend, and Qualcomm's senior management purposefully says things that undercut the valuation of its stock and thus the potential for capital appreciation in its stock that its shareholder hope for. Without dividends and with management attempting to keep the stock price as low as possible--with these two huge drags on Qualcomm's total return--why would anyone even consider owning shares of this company. That has to be the MOST moronic thing I have ever seen you post. If you want dividends, you don't invest in growth companies. Dividends are for mature companies with steady solid returns. As far as performance, over the last year or so they are identical: (I do admit that qcom got way ahead of itself, but then the China deal was delayed a year) siliconinvestor.com How about the last 5 years? q 679% nok 154% siliconinvestor.com Get a clue Puck.

Puck, While I don't agree with dividends. I would prefer that technology companies instead use the dividend to invest in other technology projects or use the dividend to shareholders instead to repurchase shares on the open market. Dividends are an inefficient means to distribute cash flows to investors since they will be doubly taxed, i.e. they are taxed as earnings to the company and then the shareholders have to pay a tax. But what do i care, I utilize my dividends in Nokia to buy more shares.
