Earnings supprises and earnings growth rates, more than anything else have moved the market prices in the past--particularyl when accompanied by low earnings rates that enhance the present value of future earnings streams. . Story stocks encounter a great deal of scepticism with many NAZ stocks down 70 to 85% off their highs. "Show me the money!" is once again an important demand on Wall Street.

>> But it may just be that the stock is too dense for the average (perhaps equally dense) investor. In which case, Qualcomm will will indeed languish because it cannot be easily explained and/or fundamental questions (like patent expiration) are just avoided on message boards like these. The "average investor" doesn't make his decisions based on dd; he makes it based on advice from some "expert", be it his stock broker, an analyst, or his brother in law. The folks that haunt boards like these are elite investors, looking for information that isn't widely known, and seeking a edge for their hard work. Good point, uf. Indeed, I was thinking that it may not be that the company's enviro is too dense for the analysts. It may be the analysts (Tim Luke and perhaps Alex Cena excepted) are too dense for the company. (Thanks to slacker711, Dennis O'Bell, and S100 for their willingness to address Malcolm Bersohn's question on patent expiration.) saukriver
