Diamond H: "Then there are the QCOM shareholders who also bought GSTRF and held to the end." Lord knows I did my best to warn everyone of that disaster in the making! PCSTEL

C'mon, bro, there is absolutely no comparison between the two. G* was never profitable and was terribly managed, unlike Q.

As I recall, in the summer of 2000 I had a short, sharp debate on this thread, with someone who was very knowledgeable about Globalstar, and who was predicting an "exponential growth in revenues". I said their business model, the market they were selling into, their management, their future financing, everything was unproven and uncertain. Making an analogy between GSTRF and QCOM, is like making an analogy between today and 1990s Japan, or 1930s America. The analogy doesn't hold up, if you compare the important variables.
