>> UF you been saying that since 178. That's a fact, Mike, and my enthusiasm for Q remains undiminished. I believe it to be similar to Cisco, Microsoft, and Intel, in that it will create uncredible wealth for its shareholders over a 5 to 10 year period. Rather than measuring its value as an investment from an inflated peak in early y2k, I choose to look at it from the point at which I bought it. I've only owned qcom for 2 years and 2 months, but it has already yielded a return of 274% from my initial investment of 17.5. In addition it has provided me retirement revenue of over $13 per share so far this year from covered calls. >> I dont believe Qcom will see 100 for 2-3 years. While you're far better at making predictions than I am, I think you'll be disproven in the near term. How about we put a $100 wager on the Q printing 100 this year? Note that if Spinco is spun off this year, the criteria would be the sum of Spinco and Qcom's price hitting 100. uf

When you listen to the last quarter CC I think you see we have one of the clearest tests for Qualcomm in years: IJ basically predicted that the growth rate we now have will ramp up substantially with 1X coming online after the next couple of quarters. I think if we don't see that substantial ramp up I will become somewhat disillusioned with Q and the best we can hope for is sideways stock price. If we do see that ramp up, then your prediction may prove conservative.
